K-theoretic refinement conjecture for the dimensional reduction of a 1-2-3 theory

Let FF' be the dimensional reduction of a 1-2-3 theory FF, and let KK denote KK-theory, viewed as an EE^{\infty} ring spectrum. K-theoretic refinement conjecture. The dimensional reduction FF' is defined over KK. Thus the integral refinement should be enhanced from abelian groups to a theory with values in KK-modules. This is presented as a refinement of the conjecture that FF' is defined over Z\mathbb{Z}, motivated by the role of stable homotopy theory and KK-theory; the source does not report a proof.
