Deitmar–Horozov conjecture on restriction of closed iterated integrals

Let XX be a smooth manifold, let x0Xx_0\in X, and let Bs(X)homB_s(X)^{\rm hom} denote the space of closed iterated integrals of length at most ss, meaning iterated integrals invariant under homotopies with fixed endpoints. Let Bs(X)x0homB_s(X)_{x_0}^{\rm hom} be its restriction to paths beginning at x0x_0, and let Bs(X)x0,x0homB_s(X)_{x_0,x_0}^{\rm hom} be its restriction to loops based at x0x_0.

Deitmar–Horozov conjecture. The restriction map

Bs(X)x0homBs(X)x0,x0homB_s(X)_{x_0}^{\rm hom}\to B_s(X)_{x_0,x_0}^{\rm hom}

\nis surjective.

The conjecture asserts that every closed iterated integral on based loops extends to a closed iterated integral on paths beginning at the base point. Its proposed consequence is that the module of higher-order invariants of smooth functions is generated by free closed iterated integrals; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
