  Hodge conjecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem of algebraic geometry.
It is a conjectural description of the link between the algebraic topology of a non-singular complex algebraic variety, and its geometry as captured by polynomial equations that define sub-varieties.
Hodge, who between 1930 and 1940 enriched the description of De Rham cohomology to include extra structure which is present in the case of algebraic varieties (though not restricted to that case).

We investigate the relation between the usual and general Hodge conjectures, and prove that for a large class of abelian varieties A, the usual Hodge conjecture for all powers of A implies the general Hodge conjecture for A.

The Hodge conjecture is that for projective algebraic varieties, Hodge cycles are rational linear combinations of algebraic cycles.
A solution to this conjecture has been proposed by Grigori Perelman; while still not formally published, there does appear to be a growing consensus that the argument is largely correct.
The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions.

This conjecture became known as "the main conjecture on cyclotomic fields" and it remained one of the most outstanding conjectures in algebraic number theory until it was solved by Mazur and Wiles in 1984 using modular curves.
Burnside conjectured that every finite group of odd order is soluble and it is not surprising that he failed to prove this result as it was not proved until 1962 when W Feit and J C Thompson proved the result in a 300 page paper.
In 1973 it had been conjectured that the behaviour of the logistic equation was the same in a qualitative sense for all g(x) which have a maximum value and decrease monotonically on either side of this maximum.

Much of the work in the field of algebraic cycles is organized around three major conjectures: the Hodge conjecture, the Tate conjecture and the generalized Birch-Swinnerton Dyer conjecture.
A simpler problem would be to describe the cohomology classes of all closed complex submanifolds of M. The Hodge Conjecture suggests a possible answer to this question.
The Tate conjecture is similar to the Hodge conjecture described above, the difference being that the Tate conjecture is concerned with cohomology classes of algebraic subvarieties of a smooth projective variety M defined over an arbitrary finitely generated field.

It deals with objects that are so far removed from the intuitions of even the experts that not only is there no "smart money" on whether the conjecture will turnout to be true or false, there isn't even a consensus as to what it really says.
The Hodge Conjecture illustrates perhaps most clearly of all the Millennium Problems the point I raised in Chapter 0, that the nature of modern mathematics makes much of it all but impossible for the layperson to appreciate.
In the case of the Hodge Conjecture, the operations of calculus play a major role (differentiation, integration, etc.).

Abstract : It is shown that if the generalized Hodge conjecture, or some weaker form of it, holds for a Calabi-Yau variety then it holds for any Calabi-Yau variety birationally equivalent to it.
The key idea is to construct suitable homomorphisms between the Grothendieck group of varieties and the Grothendieck group of the exact category of filtered Hodge structures.
The generalized Hodge conjecture would imply, rather trivially, that the coniveau filtration is compatible with pushforwards, pullbacks and products.

The object of this work is a conjecture which predicts that certain formal linear combinations of elements of the Mordell--Weil group are homologically meaningful, i.e., yield elements in certain K--groups of symmetric powers of elliptic curves.

The Hodge conjecture asks whether rational Hodge classes on a smooth projective manifolds are generated by the classes of algebraic subsets, or equivalently by Chern classes of coherent sheaves.
On a compact Kaehler manifold, Hodge conjecture is known to be false if algebraic subsets are replaced with analytic subsets.
Here we show that it is even false that for a Kaehler manifold, Hodge classes are generated by Chern classes of coherent sheaves.

Tate's conjecture from arithmetic algebraic geometry is a p-adic analog of the Hodge conjecture.
I will describe the conjecture for elliptic curves and abelian varieties and mention how modular forms were used by Ribet to solve the conjecture in some special cases, before Faltings gave a general proof.
Next I will describe the general form of Tate's conjecture for an arbitrary variety, and discuss how modular forms (or automorphic representations) can be used to approach the problem for modular varieties (like modular curves, Hilbert modular surfaces and Picard modular surfaces), and products of modular varieties.

Poincare posed this puzzle in 1904 shortly after he knocked down an easier conjecture of his by finding 3-manifolds with the same homology groups as 3-spheres that weren't really 3-spheres.
The higher-dimensional analogues of Poincare's question have all been settled in the affirmative - Smale, Stallings and Wallace solved it in dimensions 5 and higher, and Freedman later solved the subtler 4-dimensional case - but the 3-dimensional case is still unsolved.
The Hodge conjecture, posed in 1950 states: every Hodge form is a rational linear linear combination of algebraic cycles.

Abstract: A Hodge structure V of weight k on which a CM eld acts de nes, under certain conditions, a Hodge structure of weight k 1, its half twist.

We determine when the half twist exists and relate it to the geometry and moduli of the hypersurfaces.

The class map on rational algebraic cycles is split into the composition of the Abel–Jacobi map and another map which we prove is surjective.
The conjecture is thus reduced to the surjectivity of the Abel–Jacobi map.

 Read This: What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences, Volume 5
Having just introduced the concepts of manifold and higher dimensions in the discussion of the Poincaré conjecture, Cipra writes "The Hodge conjecture concerns the analysis of high-dimensional manifolds defined by systems of algebraic equations.
It says, very roughly, that everything you always wanted to know about algebraically defined manifolds (but were afraid to ask) is to be found in the theory of calculus." These two sentences are a good start towards capturing the general nature of the Hodge conjecture.
The first article traces the grand epic which starts with Taniyama's conjecture in 1955 that every elliptic curve is modular, goes through the proof of Fermat's last theorem, and continues to this day in the framework of the Langlands program.
