The conjectural description of the Grothendieck group of divided power algebras

From papers

Let \bD\bD be the divided power algebra over \bk\bk, let RR be the relevant grading ring, and let \cCn\cC_n be the category of finitely generated \bk\bk-modules supported on nhV(πh)\bigcup_{n\mid h}V(\pi_h). Write \cKn=\rK0(\cCn)\cK_n=\rK_0(\cC_n), and let \ul\sK\ul{\sK} be the quotient of

n1\cKn\bZRn\bigoplus_{n\geq 1}\cK_n\otimes_{\bZ}R_n

by the relations

[M]m1tn=[M]n1tn\frac{[M]_m}{1-t^n}=\frac{[M]_n}{1-t^n}

for M\cCmM\in\cC_m and nmn\mid m. Define the RR-linear map φ ⁣:\ul\sK\ul\rK(\bD)\varphi\colon\ul{\sK}\to\ul{\rK}(\bD) by

φ([\bk/\fa]n1tn)=1th1tn[M(\fa,h)]\varphi\left(\frac{[\bk/\fa]_n}{1-t^n}\right)=\frac{1-t^h}{1-t^n}[M(\fa,h)]

when nhn\mid h and \fa\fa contains πh\pi_h. The conjectural description. The map φ\varphi is an isomorphism. This would give a precise description of the Grothendieck group of finitely presented graded modules over the divided power algebra, refining the preceding expectation that the coefficients in Hilbert-series decompositions are well-defined in the groups R\bZ\rK0(\cCn)R\otimes_{\bZ}\rK_0(\cC_n).
