The twisted Morava theory differential conjecture for W7+[H7]W_7+[H_7]

Let W7W_7 be the degree-seven integral Stiefel–Whitney class and let [H7][H_7] be a degree-seven cohomology class that acts as a twist of a generalized cohomology theory. The expression W7+[H7]W_7+[H_7] is then a twisted degree-seven cohomology class.

Twisted Morava theory differential conjecture. The cohomology class W7+[H7]W_7+[H_7] corresponds to a differential in twisted Morava KK-theory and twisted Morava EE-theory, where [H7][H_7] acts as the twist.

The claim is motivated by the appearance of elliptic cohomology through the condition W7=0W_7=0 and by the analogy with the differential determined by W3+[H3]W_3+[H_3] in twisted K-theory. The source gives no evidence of resolution, so this conjecture remains open.
