The viscous central-invariant conjecture for integrable viscous conservation laws

Let two integrable viscous scalar conservation laws be given, with a(u)a(u) denoting the coefficient of the first-order viscous term and hence their viscous central invariant. A Miura transformation is a perturbation of the identity of the form

uv=u+kϵkMk(ux,uxx,).u\to v=u+\sum_k\epsilon^k M_k(u_x,u_{xx},\dots).

Viscous central-invariant conjecture. Two integrable viscous conservation laws admitting the same viscous central invariant a(u)a(u) are Miura equivalent.

This is the main conjectural classification statement for scalar viscous conservation laws, extending the finite-order result that the quasilinear part is determined by a(u)a(u). The source does not report a proof or disproof.
