Nonexistence of globally TSTS-M+^+-monotone isochoric energies

Let UU be the right stretch tensor and let K22=devnlogU2K_2^2=\|\operatorname{dev}_n\log U\|^2. Global TSTS-M+^+ nonexistence conjecture. For n=2,3n=2,3, there is no elastic energy of the form

W=W(K22)=W(devnlogU2)W=W(K_2^2)=W(\|\operatorname{dev}_n\log U\|^2)

such that FW(devnlogU2)F\mapsto W(\|\operatorname{dev}_n\log U\|^2) satisfies the TSTS-M+^+ condition in GL+(n)\operatorname{GL}^+(n) over the entire deformation range. The claim concerns the impossibility of global strict stress–strain monotonicity for energies depending only on the deviatoric logarithmic strain invariant.
