Katz's Lie-algebraic pp-curvature conjecture

Let XX be a smooth connected variety over C{\bf C}, let VV be a vector bundle on XX with integrable connection \nabla, and let GgalG_{\rm gal} be the Tannakian Galois group of (V,)(V,\nabla) over the function field K(X)K(X), with Lie algebra g\mathfrak g. For almost every prime p\mathfrak p of a finitely generated model RR, reduce g\mathfrak g and the pp-curvature map ψp(V/pV,)\psi_p(V/{\mathfrak p}V,\nabla) modulo p\mathfrak p.

Katz's Lie-algebraic pp-curvature conjecture. With this notation, g\mathfrak g is the smallest algebraic Lie subalgebra of EndOXVK(X)\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal O_X}V\otimes K(X) such that, for almost every prime p\mathfrak p of RR, the reduction of g\mathfrak g modulo p\mathfrak p contains the image of ψp(V/pV,)\psi_p(V/{\mathfrak p}V,\nabla).

This is presented as a more general conjecture describing the Lie algebra of the Tannakian Galois group through reductions of the pp-curvature. The source gives no resolution status for this formulation.
