Reviews

"Charles and Schnell's chapter beautifully surveys the theory of absolute Hodge classes, giving in particular a complete proof of Deligne's theorem on absolute Hodge classes on abelian varieties... A welcome addition to the literature and should be useful to both graduate students and researchers working in Hodge theory."--Dan Petersen, MathSciNet
