The projection Unification Conjecture for mutual free information

Let pp and qq be projections in a II1\mathrm{II}_1-factor. The projection free entropy is denoted by χproj\chi_{\mathrm{proj}}.

Projection Unification Conjecture. One has

i(W(p):W(q))=χproj(p,q)+χproj(p)+χproj(q)=χproj(p,q).i^\ast(W^\ast(p):W^\ast(q))=-\chi_{\mathrm{proj}}(p,q)+\chi_{\mathrm{proj}}(p)+\chi_{\mathrm{proj}}(q)=-\chi_{\mathrm{proj}}(p,q).

This is proposed as a natural extension of the Unification Conjecture from self-adjoint operator tuples to projections. The source presents it as a conjecture and gives no evidence of a resolution, so its status is open.
