Hartshorne's Chow ring conjecture for smooth hypersurfaces

From papers

Let XPn+1(C)X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}(\mathbb{C}) be a smooth hypersurface, and let hA1(X)h\in A^1(X) denote the hyperplane class. Hartshorne's conjecture.

Ai(X)=Q[hi]for all i<n2.A^i(X)=\mathbb{Q}[h^i]\quad\text{for all }i<\frac{n}{2}.

Apart from some easy results when XX has small degree and is Fano, the conjecture is completely open for i2i\geq 2 and appears highly challenging.
