Rational Lawson homology conjecture for Chow varieties

Let Cp,d(Pn)C_{p,d}(\mathbb{P}^n) denote the Chow variety of effective algebraic pp-cycles of degree dd in complex projective space, let LqHk()QL_qH_k(-)_{\mathbb{Q}} denote Lawson homology with rational coefficients, and let H(,Q)H_*(-,\mathbb{Q}) denote singular homology with rational coefficients. Rational Lawson homology conjecture. For all d0d\geq 0 and 0pn0\leq p\leq n,

LqHk(Cp,d(Pn))QHk(Cp,d(Pn),Q),k2q0.L_qH_k(C_{p,d}(\mathbb{P}^n))_{\mathbb{Q}}\cong H_k(C_{p,d}(\mathbb{P}^n),\mathbb{Q}),\qquad \forall k\geq 2q\geq 0.

This is presented as a weaker version of the integral conjecture, and the source explains that the assertion means that all even-dimensional topological cycles on Chow varieties are algebraic with rational coefficients.
