Tate Conjecture

Algebraic Geometry

In arithmetic geometry, the Tate conjecture is a 1963 conjecture of John Tate that would describe the algebraic cycles on a variety in terms of a more computable invariant, the Galois representation on etale cohomology. The conjecture is a central problem in the theory of algebraic cycles and can be considered an arithmetic analog of the Hodge conjecture.
