Conjectural spectrum-level splittings for the unoriented Thom spectra

From papers

Let Mj2Mj_2, Mj3Mj_3 and MjcMj^{\mathrm{c}} denote the indicated E\mathcal{E}_\infty Thom spectra, and let kOk\mathrm{O}, tmf\mathrm{tmf} and kUk\mathrm{U} denote connective real K-theory, connective topological modular forms, and connective complex K-theory, respectively. A wedge of module spectra means a coproduct in spectra whose summands are modules over the specified ring spectrum.

Spectrum-level splitting conjecture. As a spectrum, Mj2Mj_2 is a wedge of kOk\mathrm{O}-module spectra, Mj3Mj_3 is a wedge of tmf\mathrm{tmf}-module spectra and MjcMj^{\mathrm{c}} is a wedge of kUk\mathrm{U}-module spectra.

These proposed splittings are supported by the algebraic splittings of the homology comodules. The cases involving Mj1Mj_1 are known, while the asserted spectrum-level splittings in the displayed cases remain conjectural.
