The homological and numerical equivalence conjecture for algebraic cycles

About 17 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety and let C∼i(X)C^i_{\sim}(X) be the group of codimension-ii cycles modulo an equivalence relation ∼\sim. Write C∼homi(X)C^i_{\sim_{\mathrm{hom}}}(X) for cycles modulo homological equivalence and C∼numi(X)C^i_{\sim_{\mathrm{num}}}(X) for cycles modulo numerical equivalence. Fundamental Conjecture D(X). For every codimension ii,

C∼homi(X)=C∼numi(X).C^i_{\sim_{\mathrm{hom}}}(X)=C^i_{\sim_{\mathrm{num}}}(X).

This conjecture asserts that homological and numerical equivalence coincide for algebraic cycles, a central assertion in the theory of classical motives; the source does not state a resolution.
