Tate's pole-order conjecture for algebraic cycles

Let XX be a smooth projective geometrically connected variety over a finitely generated field KK, let d=dimXd=\dim X, and let Ai(X)A^i(X) be the group of codimension-ii algebraic cycles modulo \ell-adic homological equivalence, with Ni(X)N^i(X) the subgroup numerically equivalent to zero. For a smooth projective model f:XYf:{\mathcal X}\to{\mathcal Y}, let Φj(s)\Phi_j(s) be the associated Euler products. Tate's pole-order conjecture. The dimension of Ai(X)/Ni(X)A^i(X)/N^i(X) equals the order of the poles of Φ2i(s)\Phi_{2i}(s) at s=dim(Y)+is=\dim({\mathcal Y})+i, and, by duality, of Φ2d2i(s)\Phi_{2d-2i}(s) at s=dim(X)is=\dim({\mathcal X})-i. This is a pole-order formulation of the relation between algebraic cycles and the relevant LL-function; it remains open in general.
