Reflection-positive invertible field theory classification conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let HnH_n be the symmetry group in dimension nn, let MTHMTH be the Thom spectrum associated to this symmetry, and let IZI\mathbb Z denote the Anderson dual of the sphere spectrum. Reflection-positive classification conjecture. There is a one-to-one correspondence

{deformation classes of reflection-positive invertible n-dimensional extended field theories with symmetry group Hn}≅[MTH,Σn+1IZ].\left\{\text{deformation classes of reflection-positive invertible $n$-dimensional extended field theories with symmetry group $H_n$}\right\}\cong [MTH,\Sigma^{n+1}I\mathbb Z].

This conjecture incorporates non-topological invertible theories into the classification by generalized cohomology; the source does not state a resolution.
