Constant-term spectral-action conjecture for noncommutative tori

Let DA\mathcal{D}_A be the fluctuated Dirac operator on a noncommutative nn-torus, and let D+A\mathcal{D}+A denote the corresponding operator on the commutative nn-torus. Consider the constant terms in their spectral actions.

Constant-term spectral-action conjecture. The constant term of the spectral action of DA\mathcal{D}_A on the noncommutative nn-torus is proportional to the constant term of the spectral action of D+A\mathcal{D}+A on the commutative nn-torus.

This conjecture compares the dimension-independent constant contribution of the spectral action in the noncommutative and commutative settings. The supplied text gives no resolution or precise proportionality factor, so the conjecture remains open.
