Conservativity conjecture for transcendental motives of surfaces

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p0p\geq 0, let XX be a smooth projective surface over kk, and let t2(X)t_{2}(X) denote its transcendental Chow motive with rational coefficients. For a prime number lpl\neq p, its étale realization is Heˊt(t2(X))H^{*}_{\operatorname{\acute{e}t}}(t_{2}(X)). Conservativity conjecture. If

Heˊt(t2(X))=0,H^{*}_{\operatorname{\acute{e}t}}(t_{2}(X))=0,

then

t2(X)=0.t_{2}(X)=0.

This conjecture asserts that the étale realization detects whether the transcendental motive vanishes; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
