Abstract

Let X be a general complete intersection of a given multi-degree in a complex projective space. Suppose that the anti-canonical line bundle of X is ample. Using the cylinder homomorphism associated with the family of complete intersections contained in X, we prove that the vanishing cycles in the middle homology group of X are represented by topological cycles whose support is contained in a proper Zariski closed subset T⊂ X of certain codimension. In some cases, we can find such a Zariski closed subset T with codimension equal to the upper bound obtained from the Hodge structure of the middle cohomology group of X by means of Gröbner bases. Hence a consequence of the generalized Hodge conjecture is verified in these cases.
