Vanishing of finite-dimensional representations in infinite sofic groups

Let Γ\Gamma be an infinite sofic group, let Σ\Sigma be a sofic approximation, and let VV be a finite-dimensional representation of Γ\Gamma. The finite-dimensional vanishing conjecture. For every 1p<1\leq p<\infty,

dimΣ,lp(V,Γ)=0.\dim_{\Sigma,l^{p}}(V,\Gamma)=0.

The paper says this is suggested by its analysis of trivial actions; it also remarks that an analogous statement should hold for Rω\mathcal{R}^{\omega}-embeddable groups with lpl^{p} replaced by SpS^{p}.
