The Grothendieck period conjecture for de Rham-Betti classes

Let XX be a smooth projective variety defined over Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}, and let 0jdim(X)0\leq j\leq\dim(X) be an integer. Consider the de Rham-Betti structure

(VB,VdR,ρm)=HdRB2j(X,Q)QdRB(j).(V_{\mathrm{B}},V_{\mathrm{dR}},\rho_{m}')=\mathrm{H}^{2j}_{\mathrm{dRB}}(X,\mathbb{Q})\otimes\mathbb{Q}_{\mathrm{dRB}}(j).

If vVBv\in V_{\mathrm{B}} satisfies ρm(v1)VdR1\rho'_{m}(v\otimes 1)\in V_{\mathrm{dR}}\otimes 1, call vv a de Rham-Betti class on XX. Grothendieck period conjecture. Every de Rham-Betti class on XX comes from a Q\mathbb{Q}-coefficient algebraic cycle on XX. This is presented as a version of the Grothendieck period conjecture and is one of the motivations for the theory of de Rham-Betti structures; its general status is open.
