The positive Singer-construction containment conjecture

Let AA be the mod pp Steenrod algebra, let MM be an unstable AA-module, and let Ps=H(B(Z/p)s)P_s=H^*(B(\mathbb Z/p)^s). Let RsM\mathscr{R}_sM be the ss-th Singer construction and let Aˉ\bar A denote the augmentation ideal of AA. Positive Singer-construction containment conjecture. For every unstable AA-module MM and every s>2s>2, the positive component of RsM\mathscr{R}_sM is contained in Aˉ(PsM)\bar A(P_s\otimes M).

This is presented as a weaker consequence of the higher-stem Lannes–Zarati conjecture. The general assertion is open.
