Title: Abel-Jacobi equivalence and a variant of the Beilinson-Hodge conjecture
Abstract: We first explain a $K_1$ version of the Hodge conjecture for complex algebraic varieties, and based on some earlier ideas due to Jannsen (and Nori), we show that it is essentially equivalent to a motivic description of the kernel of the classical Abel-Jacobi map on $K_0$ of projective algebraic manifolds.
