Centralizer conjecture for sofic entropy

Let (X,μ,T)(X,\mu,T) be a GG-system, and let the centralizer of TT be the subgroup of measure-preserving automorphisms of (X,μ)(X,\mu) that commute with the image of the homomorphism GAut(X,μ)G\longrightarrow \operatorname{Aut}(X,\mu) induced by the action TT. If the centralizer is ergodic, then

hΣ(μ,T)=hΣq(μ,T).\mathrm{h}_\Sigma(\mu,T)=\mathrm{h}^{\mathrm{q}}_\Sigma(\mu,T).

If the centralizer is weakly mixing, then

hΣ(μ,T)=hΣdq(μ,T).\mathrm{h}_\Sigma(\mu,T)=\mathrm{h}^{\mathrm{dq}}_\Sigma(\mu,T).

Centralizer conjecture. If the centralizer of TT is ergodic, then the sofic entropy and quenched sofic entropy coincide; if it is weakly mixing, then the sofic entropy and doubly quenched sofic entropy coincide. The claim proposes a generalization of the role of the left-shift action in the proof of the paper's sufficient conditions; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
