The Primitive Cohomology of the Theta Divisor of an Abelian Fivefold

چکیده
The primitive cohomology of the theta divisor of a principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g contains a Hodge structure of level g− 3 which we call the primal cohomology. The Hodge conjecture predicts that this is contained in the image, under the Abel-Jacobi map, of the cohomology of a family of curves in the theta divisor. In this paper we use the Prym map to show that this version of the Hodge conjecture is true for the theta divisor of a general abelian fivefold.

On Witt Vector Cohomology for Singular Varieties
Over a perfect field k of characteristic p > 0, we construct a “Witt vector cohomology with compact supports” for separated k-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with Q) the classical theory for proper k-schemes. We define a canonical morphism from rigid cohomology with compact supports to Witt vector cohomology with compact supports, and we prove that it provides an identifi...
متن کاملCurves in Jacobians to Non - Jacobians Ii
This is a second paper where we introduce deformation theory methods which can be applied to finding curves in families of principally polarized abelian varieties (ppav) containing jacobians. One of our motivations for finding interesting and computationally tractable curves in ppav is to solve the Hodge conjecture for the primitive cohomology of the theta divisor which we explain below. For ot...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملGeneric Vanishing and Minimal Cohomology Classes on Abelian Fivefolds
We classify GV -subschemes of five-dimensional ppavs, proving the main conjecture in [PP08b] in this case. This result is implied by a more general statement about subvarieties of minimal cohomology class whose sum is a theta divisor.
متن کاملFirst non-abelian cohomology of topological groups II
In this paper we introduce a new definition of the first non-abelian cohomology of topological groups. We relate the cohomology of a normal subgroup $N$ of a topological group $G$ and the quotient $G/N$ to the cohomology of $G$. We get the inflation-restriction exact sequence. Also, we obtain a seven-term exact cohomology sequence up to dimension 2. We give an interpretation of the first non-a...
