The epimorphism conjecture for the \E\E_\infty orientation from Mj3Mj_3 to tmf\mathrm{tmf}

Let Mj3Mj_3 be the indicated E\mathcal{E}_\infty Thom spectrum, let tmf\mathrm{tmf} be connective topological modular forms, and suppose that Mj3tmfMj_3\to\mathrm{tmf} is its E\mathcal{E}_\infty orientation. A ring epimorphism is a surjective homomorphism of homotopy rings.

Epimorphism conjecture. The E\mathcal{E}_\infty orientation Mj3tmfMj_3\to\mathrm{tmf} induces a ring epimorphism

π(Mj3)π(tmf).\pi_*(Mj_3)\to\pi_*(\mathrm{tmf}).

Analogous epimorphisms are known for the cases Mj1Mj_1, Mj2Mj_2 and MjcMj^{\mathrm{c}}. The assertion for Mj3Mj_3 is related to, and implied by, the proposed module-spectrum splitting, but remains open here.
