Local ramification-growth conjecture for unit-root FF-isocrystals

Let MM be an irreducible overconvergent FF-isocrystal on Spec(F)\operatorname{Spec}(F) with nonnegative slopes. Let MurM^{u-r} be its unit-root subcrystal, and let η\eta be its first nonzero slope. Consider the corresponding pp-adic Lie extension F/FF_\infty/F and write sns_n for the largest ramification break of Fn/FF_n/F. Local ramification-growth conjecture. There exist mZm\in\mathbb{Z} with mηZ\frac{m}{\eta}\in\mathbb{Z} and constants a0,,am1,b0,,bm1Qa_0,\ldots,a_{m-1},b_0,\ldots,b_{m-1}\in\mathbb{Q} such that

skm+i=aipmrk+bis_{km+i}=a_i p^{mrk}+b_i

for i=0,,m1i=0,\ldots,m-1 and k0k\gg0. This is the local counterpart to the global genus-growth prediction: the first nonzero Frobenius slope is expected to control eventual ramification growth in the associated pp-adic Lie extension. The source gives no resolution of this local conjecture.
