Bloch's conjecture on Chern classes of flat vector bundles

Let XX be a smooth complex projective variety. Let (V,)(V,\nabla) be a flat vector bundle on XX, and let

0=Fi+1FiF1F0=CHi(X)Q0=F^{i+1}\subset F^i\subset\dots\subset F^1\subset F^0=\operatorname{CH}^i(X)_{\mathbb Q}

be the conjectural functorial Bloch–Beilinson filtration. Bloch's conjecture. For every i1i\geq 1,

ci(V)QFiCHi(X)Q.c_i(V)\otimes\mathbb Q\in F^i\operatorname{CH}^i(X)_{\mathbb Q}.

This is a precise form of the prediction that Chern classes of flat vector bundles lie in the lowest stratum of the Bloch–Beilinson filtration. The conjecture is known for i=1i=1 and, by Reznikov's theorem, for i=2i=2 under the expected descriptions of the first filtration steps; it remains open in higher codimensions.
