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

About 9 years old · traced to

Let X⊂Pn+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 p∈Xp\in X, and fix a smooth projective curve Γ\Gamma with distinct points 00 and ∞\infty. Define

RX,p,Γ=q≠p∈X:N(p−q)∼Γ0 for some N∈Z+.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

dim⁡RX,p,Γ≤2n−∑i=1k(di−1).\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.
