Algebraic Geometry Seminar: "Lefschetz Conjectures for Chow Groups"

Ravindra Girivaru, University of Missouri-St. Louis

Abstract: The Lefschetz conjectures are attempts at generalizing the classical Grothendieck-Lefschetz and Noether-Lefschetz theorems for Picard groups of a smooth projective variety and its hyperplane sections, and fit in the framework of the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures. I will talk about some results I have obtained in joint work with Deepam Patel of Purdue University.
