Abstract: It is known that the integral cohomology of positive degree of a rationally connected projective complex manifold has coniveau at least 1, that is, is supported on a proper subvariety. However it is unknown whether is comes from the cohomology of a smooth projective variety of smaller dimension by a Gysin morphism (that is, whether it is of strong coniveau at least 1, following the terminology of Benoist and Ottem). This last property is a necessary condition for stable rationality. We prove that it is satisfied by rationally connected threefolds.
