Questions on the Chow ring of complete intersections

Abstract
We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring $A^\ast(X)$ of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if $X$ is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product $A^2(X)\cdot A^i(X)$ is one-dimensional, for any $i>0$. We also show that quintic threefolds have a multiplicative Chow-Künneth (MCK) decomposition. We wonder whether all Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces might have an MCK decomposition, and prove this is the case conditional to a conjecture of Voisin.
