Hodge said that at one time he did ask his brother if his girlfriend might be interested in buying his half of the property but that the discussion did not lead to anything.
Hodge also testified that appellant agreed to sell his share to appellee for $12,000; that the parties said appellee had already taken care of the $2,000 down payment; that appellant would carry the note for the $10,000 balance, payable over thirty-six months at eight percent interest; and that the monthly note would be $313.
Hodge also testified that prior to the fire, appellee had sent him some of the monthly payments and that he in turn had sent some of those payments to appellant and applied the rest to expenses on the Rabb Apartments.

 Station Information - Hodge conjecture
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).
Suppose V is a non-singular algebraic variety of dimension n over the complex numbers.
It is also the case that when H* is large in dimension, the example chosen as V can be regarded as somewhat special: so the conjecture discusses what you could call the interesting cases and is harder to prove, the further away we are from a generic case.

For example in codimension 1, which is the most accessible case geometrically using hyperplane sections, the corresponding class is in the second cohomology group and can be computed by means of the first Chern class[?].
From what has been said, this means that the stated conditions necessary to be a combination of algebraic cycles, are also sufficient.

 Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just as continuous functions are the natural maps on topological spaces and smooth functions are the natural maps on differentiable manifolds, there is a natural class of functions on an algebraic set, called regular functions.
It may seem unnaturally restrictive to require that a regular function always extend to the ambient space, but it is very similar to the situation in a normal topological space, where the Tietze extension theorem guarantees that a continuous function on a closed subset always extends to the ambient topological space.
