In this paper we discuss an obstruction to the integral Hodge conjecture, which arises from certain behavior of vanishing cycles. This allows us to construct new counter-examples to the integral Hodge conjecture. One typical such…

Green and Griffiths have introduced several notions of singularities associated with normal functions, especially in connection with middle dimensional primitive Hodge classes. In this note, by using the more elementary aspects of the…

Suppose that Y is a cyclic cover of projective space branched over a hyperplane arrangement D, and that U is the complement of the ramification locus in Y. The first theorem implies that the Beilinson-Hodge conjecture holds for U if certain…

Given a complex affine hypersurface with isolated singularity determined by a homogeneous polynomial, we identify the noncommutative Hodge structure on the periodic cyclic homology of its singularity category with the classical Hodge…

Given a very ample line bundle on a smooth projective variety, the variation of Hodge structure associated to the universal family of hyperplane sections can be thought of as a $D$-module with action generated by the Gauss-Manin connection.…

Let $X$ be a closed Riemann surface. When $X$ is embedded into a projective space, the first rational cohomology group can be concretely obtained from the monodromy in the family of its smooth hyperplane sections by C. Schnell's tube…

We employ the perverse vanishing cycles to show that each reduced cohomology group of the Milnor fiber, except the top two, can be computed from the restriction of the vanishing cycle complex to only singular strata with a certain lower…

We prove by induction on dimension the Hodge conjecture for smooth complex projective varieties. Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety. Then $X$ is birational to a possibly singular projective hypersurface, hence to a smooth…

We combine Deligne's global invariant cycle theorem, and the algebraicity theorem of Cattani, Deligne and Kaplan, for the connected components of the locus of Hodge classes, to conclude that under simple assumptions these components are…

Let f be an isolated plane curve singularity with Milnor fiber of genus at least 5. For all such f, we give (a) an intrinsic description of the geometric monodromy group that does not invoke the notion of the versal deformation space, and…

We show that special cycles generate a large part of the cohomology of locally symmetric spaces associated to orthogonal groups. We prove in particular that classes of totally geodesic submanifolds generate the cohomology groups of degree…

We propose a geometric and categorical approach to the Hodge Conjecture for all smooth projective complex varieties. By embedding any such variety into a flat family with general fibers smooth complete intersections, we prove the conjecture…

A toric polyhedron is a reduced closed subscheme of a toric variety that are partial unions of the orbits of the torus action. We prove vanishing theorems for toric polyhedra. We also give a proof of the $E_1$-degeneration of Hodge to de…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension d. We show that its primitive cohomology in degree d is generated by certain "tube classes," constructed from the monodromy of the family of smooth hyperplane sections on X. The…

Let A be a basic connected finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, let G be a group, let T be a basic tilting A-module and let B the endomorphism algebra of T. Under a hypothesis on T, we establish a correspondence…

In this article we study the (cohomological) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. We prove the conjecture for simple normal crossing varieties that can be embedded in a family where the Mumford-Tate group remains constant. We show how…

It is known that the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology implies the vanishing of off-diagonal Hodge numbers (Hodge--Tateness). We investigate which hyperplane sections of homogeneous varieties possess either of the two properties. We…
