Existence conjecture for the monodromy cycle
Let be the standard log point over a finite field, let be a projective vertical log smooth fs log scheme over , let , and let be a section of the log structure not belonging to . Let be the group from the finer logarithmic Tate conjecture, and let denote the monodromy operators on log étale cohomology. Monodromy-cycle conjecture. There exists a unique element of inducing
for every and every , and inducing the analogous operator on log crystalline cohomology. This expected cycle would realize monodromy motivically; the source presents it as suggested by the finer log Tate conjecture and gives no resolution.
