Permanent-cycle conjecture for aσnuρnσna_{\sigma_n}u_{\rho_n-\sigma_n}

Let C2nC_{2^n} be the cyclic group of order 2n2^n, and let aσna_{\sigma_n} and uρnσnu_{\rho_n-\sigma_n} denote the Euler and orientation classes associated to the representations σn\sigma_n and ρnσn\rho_n-\sigma_n. Consider the slice spectral sequence for C2nC_{2^n}. Permanent-cycle conjecture. The element

aσnuρnσna_{\sigma_n}u_{\rho_n-\sigma_n}

is a permanent cycle in the slice spectral sequence for C2nC_{2^n}. Computational evidence supports this for n=3n=3, but the authors note that the conjecture may be too strong: for larger nn, differentials could occur, possibly reflecting Adams differentials.
