Vangelis Mouroukos (U of C),
Cohomological Connectivity and Algebraic Cycles.


We give a systematic way to produce interesting algebraic cycles on general complete intersections of sufficiently high multidegree in a non-singular projective variety, that contain a fixed non-singular subvariety. This gives rise to new non-torsion elements in the Griffiths group of homologically trivial cycles modulo algebraic equivalence of such a complete intersection. Moreover, we formulate injectivity and surjectivity results for the corresponding Chow groups; they are consistent with Beilinson's conjectures on mixed motives and filtrations on Chow groups.
