Abstract

We prove that there exists a pencil of Enriques surfaces defined over \({\mathbb {Q}}\) with non-algebraic integral Hodge classes of non-torsion type. This gives the first example of a threefold with the trivial Chow group of zero-cycles on which the integral Hodge conjecture fails. As an application, we construct a fourfold which gives the negative answer to a classical question of Murre on the universality of the Abel-Jacobi maps in codimension three.

Notes

  1. We use Grothendieck’s notation for projective bundles: for a vector bundle \({\mathcal {E}}\), \({\mathbb {P}}({\mathcal {E}})\) paramterizes one-dimensional quotients of \({\mathcal {E}}\).
