Statement

On a smooth projective complex manifold, every rational Hodge cycle is a linear combination of classes cl(Z)cl(Z) of algebraic cycles.

A motivic reformulation is as follows. Let SmProj C corSmProj^{cor}_\mathbf{C} denote the category of algebraic correspondences of smooth projective algebraic varieties over the complex numbers. The canonical functor

SmProj corHS pure SmProj^{cor} \to HS^{pure}

to the category of rational pure Hodge structures, given by taking rational Betti cohomology, is fully faithful.

(The Tate conjecture is the analogue where C\mathbf{C} is replaced by a finite field or number field, and the target category of pure Hodge structures is replaced by the l-adic representations? of the absolute Galois group.)

Van Geemen: An introduction to the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties

arXiv:0907.2503 The Hodge conjecture for self-products of certain K3 surfaces from arXiv Front: math.AG by Ulrich Schlickewei We use a result of van Geemen to determine the endomorphism algebra of the Kuga–Satake variety of a K3 surface with real multiplication. This is applied to prove the Hodge conjecture for self-products of double covers of PP 2\PP^2 which are ramified along six lines.
