The standard conjecture on supporting algebraic cycles on closed subsets

Let XX be a smooth complex algebraic variety, let YXY\subset X be a closed algebraic subset, and let ZXZ\subset X be an algebraic cycle of codimension kk. Suppose its cohomology class satisfies

[Z]Ker(H2k(X,Q)H2k(XY,Q)).[Z]\in\operatorname{Ker}\bigl(H^{2k}(X,\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow H^{2k}(X\setminus Y,\mathbb{Q})\bigr).

Supporting-cycle conjecture. There exists a codimension-kk cycle ZZ' on XX with rational coefficients, supported on YY, such that [Z]=[Z][Z']=[Z] in H2k(X,Q)H^{2k}(X,\mathbb{Q}). The paper relates this conjecture to the standard conjectures; it is known for codimension-22 cycles but open in general.
