The generalized Tate conjecture

About 20 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety, or a smooth and proper Deligne--Mumford stack with projective coarse moduli space, over a finitely generated field LL. Let LsL^{\mathrm{s}} be a separable closure of LL, and let V⊂Hj(XLs,Qℓ)V\subset H^j(X_{L^{\mathrm{s}}},\mathbb{Q}_\ell) be a Galois subrepresentation. Suppose that V(k)V(k) is effective, meaning that the eigenvalues of Frobenius elements acting on V(k)V(k) at good places are algebraic integers.

Generalized Tate conjecture. There is a closed algebraic subset Z⊂XZ\subset X of codimension kk such that

V⊂ker⁡(Hj(XLs,Qℓ)→Hj((X∖Z)Ls,Qℓ)).V\subset\ker\bigl(H^j(X_{L^{\mathrm{s}}},\mathbb{Q}_\ell)\to H^j((X\smallsetminus Z)_{L^{\mathrm{s}}},\mathbb{Q}_\ell)\bigr).

This is the arithmetic analogue of the generalized Hodge conjecture, replacing Hodge coniveau by effectivity of the twisted Galois representation. It remains open in general.
