Lewis–Sheng dimension bound for Γ-equivalent points on complete intersections

Let XPn+kX\subset {\mathbb P}^{n+k} be a very general complete intersection of type (d1,d2,,dk)(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_k), let pXp\in X, and fix a smooth projective curve Γ\Gamma with distinct points 00 and \infty. Define

RX,p,Γ=qpX:N(pq)Γ0 for some NZ+.R_{X,p,\Gamma}=\\{q\ne p\in X:N(p-q)\sim_\Gamma 0\text{ for some }N\in {\mathbb Z}^+\\}.

Lewis–Sheng dimension conjecture. The locus of points Γ-equivalent to pp satisfies

dimRX,p,Γ2ni=1k(di1).\dim R_{X,p,\Gamma}\le 2n-\sum_{i=1}^k(d_i-1).

This is presented as the authors’ most optimistic expectation for the optimal degree bound generalizing Voisin’s result on rationally equivalent points; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
