Primitive cohomology and the tube mapping

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension d. We show that its primitive cohomology in degree d is generated by certain "tube classes," constructed from the monodromy in the family of all hyperplane sections of X. The proof makes use of a result about the group cohomology of certain representations that may be of independent interest.
