Vanishing of the tail-homology direct limit for non-B-adequate diagrams

Let DD be a link diagram. For each NN, let H~Kh(\xDclvN)\widetilde{\mathrm{H}}^{\mathrm{Kh}}(\xDclv{N}) be its shifted Khovanov homology, and let

H(D)=limH~Kh(\xDclvN)\mathrm{H}^{\infty}(D)=\lim\limits_{\rightarrow}\widetilde{\mathrm{H}}^{\mathrm{Kh}}(\xDclv{N})

be the direct limit of the degree-preserving maps constructed in the paper. A diagram is B-adequate if it has the relevant B-adequate state property. Vanishing conjecture. If DD is not B-adequate, then

H(D)=0.\mathrm{H}^{\infty}(D)=0.

This is the proposed complement to the stabilization theorem for B-adequate diagrams: the direct limit is finite-dimensional in every bi-degree, while the paper conjectures that it vanishes outside the B-adequate case. The source gives no resolution.
