Dual endomorphism conjecture for Anderson self-dual ring spectra

About 5 years old · traced to

Let RR be an E1\mathbf{E}_1-ring spectrum and write A=π0RA=\pi_0 R. Suppose that there is a class D∈π−dRD\in \pi_{-d}R witnessing the Anderson self-duality of RR. Let F ⁣:R→RF\colon R\to R be an endomorphism of algebra objects in hSp\mathrm{h}\mathrm{Sp} such that

F(D)=λDF(D)=\lambda D

for some λ∈A\lambda\in A. Dual endomorphism conjecture. The composites F∘FˇF\circ \widecheck{F} and Fˇ∘F\widecheck{F}\circ F should be equivalent to multiplication by λ\lambda on π∗R\pi_\ast R.

This conjecture describes how an endomorphism of an Anderson self-dual ring spectrum interacts with its dual endomorphism. The source presents it as a conjecture, and no resolution is given in the supplied text.
