Suppose that $Y$ is a cyclic cover of projective space branched over a hyperplane arrangement $D$ and that $U$ is the complement of the ramification locus in $Y$. The first theorem in this paper implies that the Beilinson–Hodge conjecture holds for $U$ if certain multiplicities of $D$ are coprime to the degree of the cover. For instance, this applies when $D$ is reduced with normal crossings. The second theorem shows that when $D$ has normal crossings and the degree of the cover is a prime number, the generalized Hodge conjecture holds for any toroidal resolution of $Y$. The last section contains some partial extensions to more general nonabelian covers.
