Bufetov's equivalence conjecture for determinantal point process kernels

Let XX be the underlying space, let F\mathbb{F} be the scalar field, and let K,Q:X2FK,Q:X^2\to\mathbb{F} be kernels. They are equivalent when, for every r1r\geq 1 and every (z1,,zr)Xr(z_1,\dots,z_r)\in X^r, the cyclic products agree:

i=1rK(zi,zi+1)=i=1rQ(zi,zi+1),zr+1=z1.\prod_{i=1}^r K(z_i,z_{i+1})=\prod_{i=1}^r Q(z_i,z_{i+1}),\qquad z_{r+1}=z_1.

Transposition replaces K(x,y)K(x,y) by K(y,x)K(y,x), while conjugation replaces it by g(x)g(y)1K(x,y)g(x)g(y)^{-1}K(x,y) for a function g:XF{0}g:X\to\mathbb{F}\setminus\{0\}. Bufetov's equivalence conjecture. If KK and QQ are equivalent kernels, then one can be transformed into the other by a finite sequence of transposition and conjugation transformations.

The conjecture asserts that these canonical transformations account for all equivalent kernels of determinantal point processes. The supplied text gives no evidence of a resolution, so its status remains open.
