Green–Griffiths algebraicity conjecture for zero loci of normal functions

Let XSX\to S be a family of complex smooth projective varieties over a quasi-projective base, and let ZXZ\hookrightarrow X be a flat family of cycles of pure codimension ii that are homologically equivalent to zero in the fibers. Let ν\nu be the associated normal function, a holomorphic section of the Jacobian fibration Ji(X/S)J^i(X/S). Green–Griffiths algebraicity conjecture. The zero locus of the normal function ν\nu is algebraic. This conjecture is the mixed-Hodge-theoretic analogue of the Cattani–Deligne–Kaplan theorem on the algebraicity of Hodge loci for variations of pure Hodge structures; its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
