Equality of upper and lower sofic lp-dimensions

Let 2<p<2<p<\infty, let Γ\Gamma be a countable discrete sofic group, and let Σ\Sigma be a sofic approximation of Γ\Gamma. Equality conjecture. For every nNn\in\mathbb N,

dimΣ,lp(lp(Γ)n,Γ)=dimΣ,lp(lp(Γ)n,Γ).\dim_{\Sigma,l^{p}}(l^{p}(\Gamma)^{\oplus n},\Gamma)=\underline{\dim}_{\Sigma,l^{p}}(l^{p}(\Gamma)^{\oplus n},\Gamma).

This conjecture concerns whether the upper and lower sofic lpl^{p}-dimensions coincide in the range 2<p<2<p<\infty. The paper says that little progress has been made on it and suggests that the definition might not be the right analogue of von Neumann dimension in this range.
