The extension-composition conjecture for additive homogeneous superfunctors

Let AA and BB be additive homogeneous superfunctors of degree psp^s, with s>0s>0, and finite-dimensional values. Let FF and GG be homogeneous strict polynomial functors of degree prp^r. Here P\boldsymbol{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{P}}} denotes the category of strict polynomial superfunctors, and P\boldsymbol{\mathcal{P}} the corresponding category used for FF and GG. The notation FExtP(A,B)F_{\mathrm{Ext}^*_{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{P}}}(A,B)} denotes parametrisation of FF by the graded vector space of extensions.

Extension-composition conjecture. There is a graded isomorphism, taking total degree on the left-hand side,

ExtP(G,FExtP(A,B))ExtP(GA,FB),\mathrm{Ext}^*_{\mathcal{P}}\bigl(G,F_{\mathrm{Ext}^*_{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{P}}}(A,B)}\bigr)\simeq \mathrm{Ext}^*_{\mathcal{P}}(G\circ A,F\circ B),

natural in AA, BB, FF, and GG.

The conjecture extends the preceding result, which establishes the corresponding isomorphism when G=I(r)G=I^{(r)}. It proposes a general compatibility between extension groups of strict polynomial superfunctors and composition with additive homogeneous superfunctors; the source provides no resolution status beyond presenting this statement as a conjecture.
