Abstract: A de Rham-Betti class on a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraic extension $K$ of the rational numbers is a rational class in the Betti cohomology of the analytification of$X$ that descends to a class in the algebraic de Rham cohomology of $X$ via the period comparison isomorphism. The period conjecture of Grothendieck implies that de Rham-Betti classes should be algebraic. We prove that any de Rham-Betti class on a product of elliptic curves is algebraic. This is achieved by showing that the Tannakian torsor associated to a de Rham-Betti object is connected, and by exploiting the analytic subgroup theorem of W"ustholz. In the case of products of non-CM elliptic curves, we prove the stronger result that $overlinemathdsQ$-de Rham-Betti classes are $overlinemathdsQ$-linear combinations of algebraic classes by showing that the period comparison isomorphism generates the torsor of motivic periods. A key step consists in establishing a version of the analytic subgroup theorem with $overlinemathdsQ$-coefficients. Finally, building on results of Deligne and Andr'e regarding the Kuga-Satake correspondence, we further show that any de Rham-Betti isometry between the second cohomology groups of hyper-K"ahler varieties, with second Betti number not 3, is Hodge. As two applications we show that codimension-2 de Rham-Betti classes on hyper-K"ahler varieties of known deformation type are Hodge and we obtain a global de Rham-Betti Torelli theorem for K3 surfaces over $overlinemathdsQ$.
