Green–Griffiths conjecture on singular normal functions

Let XX be a smooth complex projective variety, let LXL\to X be a very ample line bundle, and let ζ\zeta be a non-torsion, primitive Hodge class of type (n,n)(n,n) on XX. For the associated admissible normal function

νζ:PX^J(H),\nu_{\zeta}:P-\hat X\to J(\mathcal H),

where P=PH0(X,O(L))P=\mathbb P H^0(X,\mathcal O(L)) and X^\hat X is the dual variety, call νζ\nu_{\zeta} singular if there is a point x^X^\hat x\in\hat X such that its singularity singx^(νζ)IHx^1(H)\operatorname{sing}_{\hat x}(\nu_{\zeta})\in \mathit{IH}_{\hat{x}}^1(\mathcal H) is non-torsion. Green–Griffiths conjecture. There exists an integer k>0k>0 such that, after replacing LL by LkL^k, the associated normal function νζ\nu_{\zeta} is singular. This conjecture is part of the Green–Griffiths program relating the algebraicity of infinitesimal invariants and the Hodge conjecture; the supplied text does not give a resolution status.
