The coniveau conjecture for complete intersections

Let XPnX\subset\mathbb{P}^n be a smooth complete intersection of rr hypersurfaces of degrees d1drd_1\leq\cdots\leq d_r, and let Hnr(X,Q)primH^{n-r}(X,\mathbb{Q})_{\mathrm{prim}} denote its primitive cohomology. A closed algebraic subset YXY\subset X has codimension cc when every irreducible component has codimension at least cc. The coniveau conjecture for complete intersections. If

nidi+(c1)dr,n\geq\sum_i d_i+(c-1)d_r,

then the restriction of Hnr(X,Q)primH^{n-r}(X,\mathbb{Q})_{\mathrm{prim}} to XYX\setminus Y vanishes for some closed algebraic subset YXY\subset X of codimension cc. This is stated as equivalent to the generalized Hodge conjecture in the complete-intersection setting and remains open in general.
