Rationality and nonnegativity conjecture for Serre dimensions

Let AA be a smooth and compact dg algebra over a field k\mathsf k. Consider the lower and upper Serre dimensions of Perf(A)\operatorname{Perf}(A).

Rationality and nonnegativity conjecture. The two Serre dimensions are rational numbers, and the upper Serre dimension is nonnegative:

SdimPerf(A),SdimPerf(A)Q,\operatorname{\underline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A),\qquad \operatorname{\overline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A)\in\mathbb{Q},

with

SdimPerf(A)0.\operatorname{\overline{Sdim}} \operatorname{Perf}(A)\geqslant 0.

The paper gives examples showing that the lower Serre dimension can be negative and notes that irrationality is unknown, so this conjecture remains open.
