But dα is algebraic (for ∫ dα∙h = d = ∫ h2∙h ⇒ dα=h2). XX

Consequences for Φ: Ω*(X) → MU2*(X):

Then MU4(X) ↠ H4(X;Z) is surjective, and thus Kollar’s argument implies that Φ is not surjective (on Hodge classes).

Then MU4(X) ↠ H4(X;Z) is surjective, and thus Kollar’s argument implies that Φ is not surjective (on Hodge classes).

These examples are “not topological”:there is a dense subset of hypersurfaces Y⊂P4 such that the generator in H4(Y;Z) is algebraic.
