Weak equivalence conjecture for polynomial and function spaces with prescribed patterns

About 6 years old · traced to

Let dd be even, let Ω⟨d]\Omega_{\langle d]} be the poset of allowed zero-divisor patterns, and let Θ⊂Ω⟨d]\Theta\subset\Omega_{\langle d]} be a closed sub-poset. Let PdcΘ\mathcal P_d^{\mathbf c\Theta} and F≤dcΘ\mathcal F_{\leq d}^{\mathbf c\Theta} denote the polynomial and function spaces associated with the complementary pattern cΘ\mathbf c\Theta. For the embedding I\mathcal I defined by the cut-off formula in the source,

I:PdcΘ→F≤dcΘ,\mathcal I:\mathcal P_d^{\mathbf c\Theta}\to\mathcal F_{\leq d}^{\mathbf c\Theta},

Pattern-preserving weak equivalence conjecture. The embedding I\mathcal I is a weak homotopy equivalence.

The conjecture is presented as a basis for computing the cohomology of convex envelopes of traversing flows. The supplied text does not state a proof or a resolution.
