Iwaniec's continuous right-inverse conjecture for the Jacobian

From papers

For p in [1,infinity)p\text{ in }[1,\text{infinity}), consider the Jacobian operator

J ⁣:W˙1,np(Rn,Rn)Hp(Rn),\operatorname{J}\colon \dot{W}^{1,np}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)\to \mathscr{H}^p(\mathbb{R}^n),

where Hp(Rn)\mathscr{H}^p(\mathbb{R}^n) is the real Hardy space and W˙1,np(Rn,Rn)\dot{W}^{1,np}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n) is the homogeneous Sobolev space. Iwaniec's conjecture. For each p[1,)p\in[1,\infty), there is a continuous map

E ⁣:Hp(Rn)W˙1,np(Rn,Rn)E\colon \mathscr{H}^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\to \dot{W}^{1,np}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)

such that

JE=Id.\operatorname{J}\circ E=\operatorname{Id}.

Thus the Jacobian has a continuous right inverse. The conjecture strengthens the outstanding surjectivity problem for the Jacobian; for p>1p>1, the Hardy space agrees with Lp(Rn),L^p(\mathbb{R}^n), but the supplied text gives no resolution of the conjecture.
