K\"unneth projectors for open varieties
  We consider correspondences on smooth quasiprojective varieties $U$. An algebraic cycle inducing the K\"unneth projector onto $H^1(U)$ is constructed. Assuming normal crossings at infinity, the existence of relative motivic cohomology is shown to imply the independence of $\ell$ for traces of open correspondences.
