Hu's integral cycle class conjecture for Chow varieties

Let Cp,d(Pn)C_{p,d}({\mathbb{P}}^n) denote the Chow variety of effective pp-dimensional cycles of degree dd in projective space, and let Chq(){\rm Ch}_q(-) denote the Chow group of qq-dimensional cycles. For d0d\geq 0, 0pn0\leq p\leq n, and q0q\geq 0, let H2q(,Z)H_{2q}(-,{\mathbb{Z}}) denote singular homology with integer coefficients.

Hu's integral cycle class conjecture. For all d0d\geq 0 and 0pn0\leq p\leq n,

Chq(Cp,d(Pn))H2q(Cp,d(Pn),Z),q0.{\rm Ch}_q(C_{p,d}({\mathbb{P}}^n))\cong H_{2q}(C_{p,d}({\mathbb{P}}^n),{\mathbb{Z}}),\qquad \forall q\geq 0.

The conjecture would identify algebraic cycles on every Chow variety with the corresponding even-dimensional integral homology classes. The source notes that the integral statement may be too optimistic, although no evidence is known that the cycle class map fails to be injective or surjective.
