The weakly pseudo-effective pushforward conjecture

About 13 years old · traced to

Let XX and YY be smooth complex projective varieties and let φ:X→Y\varphi:X\rightarrow Y be a morphism. A cohomology class is weakly pseudo-effective if it is a limit of classes of algebraic cycles represented by positive currents. Every pseudo-effective cycle class is weakly pseudo-effective, but the converse is known only in the divisor case.

Weakly pseudo-effective pushforward conjecture. Any weakly pseudo-effective class α∈H2l(X,R)\alpha\in H^{2l}(X,\mathbf{R}) such that φ∗α=0\varphi_*\alpha=0 belongs to the real vector space spanned by classes of ll-codimensional subvarieties of XX contracted by φ\varphi.

This strengthens the weak, vector-space form of the cohomological pseudo-effective pushforward conjecture by replacing algebraic pseudo-effectivity with analytic weak pseudo-effectivity. The source notes that this conjecture would have strong consequences for the generalized Hodge conjecture, and its general validity remains open.
