Uniqueness of algebraic counting by mixed Hodge structures

Let calgc_{alg} be an algebraic counting invariant of complex algebraic varieties, and let ctopc_{top} denote topological counting. The Hodge--Deligne polynomial is

χu,v(X):=i,p,q0(1)i(1)p+qdimC(GrFpGrp+qWHci(X,C))upvq.\chi_{u,v}(X):= \sum_{i,p,q\geq 0}(-1)^i(-1)^{p+q}\operatorname{dim}_{\mathbb C}\left(Gr_F^pGr^W_{p+q}H_c^i(X,\mathbb C)\right)u^pv^q.

Mixed Hodge structure conjecture. The algebraic counting calgc_{alg} specializes to ctopc_{top}, and there are no further algebraic counting invariants specializing to the Hodge--Deligne polynomial χu,v\chi_{u,v}; equivalently, no extra structures beyond Deligne's mixed Hodge structure contribute to the algebraic counting of complex algebraic varieties. The claim is presented as a negative answer to the question of whether additional such countings exist.
