In this note, we observe that this same method can also be extended to singular and quasi--projective varieties. We give two applications of this observation: the first is a version of Mumford's theorem, the second is concerned with the Hodge conjecture for singular varieties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-07-16T08:38:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14C15", "14C25", "14C30" ], "keywords": [ "singular varieties", "correspondences", "bloch-srinivas method", "smooth projective variety", "mumfords theorem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150704484L" } } }
