Conjectural Chern-class compatibility for toroidal embeddings

Let LCL\subset\mathbb{C} be a number field with ring of integers OL\mathcal{O}_L, let X/LX/L be a smooth projective variety equipped with a toroidal embedding ZXZ\subset X, and let V\mathcal{V} be a rank nn vector bundle on XX whose restriction to each irreducible component of ZZ is trivial. Let ρ:π1(Z(C))GLn(OL)\rho:\pi_1(Z(\mathbb{C}))\to\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathcal{O}_L) be the associated local system, let s:Z(R0)Z(C)s:Z(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0})\to Z(\mathbb{C}) be the toroidal map, and let bib_i be the Borel and Soulé regulator class, with pullback fρ(bi)ExtC1(1C,1C(i))H2i1(Z(R0),Z)f_\rho^*(b_i)\in\operatorname{Ext}^1_{\mathcal{C}}(1_{\mathcal{C}},1_{\mathcal{C}}(i))\otimes H^{2i-1}(Z(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}),\mathbb{Z}). Conjectural Chern-class compatibility. For every ii, one has

fρ(bi)=s(ci(V)Z).f_\rho^*(b_i)=s^*(c_i(\mathcal{V})|_Z).

This conjecture proposes an étale analogue of Looijenga's compatibility between regulator classes and Chern classes, extending the stated theorem for line bundles. In the rank-one case with i=1i=1, it identifies the pulled-back first Chern class with the unit α\alpha defining the corresponding monodromy representation.
