The relative Burnside-kernel generation conjecture

Let pp be a prime, let GG be a finite pp-group, and let HZpH\cong \mathbb Z_p. Write G~=G×H\tilde G=G\times H, let N(G,H)N(G,H) denote the relative Burnside kernel, and for a subquotient L/CL/C of G~\tilde G let N~(L/C)\tilde N(L/C) be the intersection of N(L/C)N(L/C) with the submodule A~(L/C)\tilde A(L/C) that maps into A(G,H)A(G,H) under induction. Relative Burnside-kernel generation conjecture.

N(G,H)=L/CN~(L/C),N(G,H)=\sum L/C\mathbin{\uparrow}\tilde N(L/C),

where the sum is taken over subquotients L/CL/C of G~\tilde G isomorphic to T×HT\times H, with TT equal to the elementary abelian group Zp×Zp\mathbb Z_p\times\mathbb Z_p, the dihedral group, or the nonabelian group of order p3p^3 and exponent pp. The source presents this assertion in the final remarks as a conjectural description of the relative kernel, and gives no resolution evidence, so its status remains open.
