Abstract
To each ternary sextic whose associated plane curve is smooth, the Shioda construction attaches a smooth sextic fourfold whose defining equation is fixed under the involution . The induced action fixes a Hodge substructure whose Hodge coniveau is 1. By the general Hodge conjecture, we expect that there should exist a divisor for which . We verify this prediction in case the Waring rank of takes on its minimum possible value, partially answering a question of Voisin (J. Math. Sci. Univ. Tokyo '15).
