The Hodge filtration criterion for rational singularities of local complete intersections

Let XX be a smooth variety and let ZXZ\subseteq X be a local complete intersection of pure codimension rr. Write F1HZr(OX)F_1\mathcal{H}_Z^r(\mathscr{O}_X) for the first Hodge-filtration piece and E1HZr(OX)E_1\mathcal{H}_Z^r(\mathscr{O}_X) for the corresponding first piece of the pole-order filtration. Rational-singularity conjecture. If

F1HZr(OX)=E1HZr(OX),F_1\mathcal{H}_Z^r(\mathscr{O}_X)=E_1\mathcal{H}_Z^r(\mathscr{O}_X),

then ZZ has rational singularities. This is proposed by analogy with the corresponding criterion for reduced hypersurfaces; whether the equality characterizes rational singularities in this local complete-intersection setting remains open.
