Surjectivity conjecture for the field-difference homomorphism

Let C\mathcal{C} be the smooth concordance group, and for each prime pp define

Σp(K)=sQ(K)sFp(K)2.\Sigma_p(K)=\frac{s^{\mathbb{Q}}(K)-s^{\mathbb{F}_p}(K)}{2}.

Writing PP for the set of primes, let

Σ ⁣:CpPZ\Sigma\colon\mathcal{C}\longrightarrow\bigoplus_{p\in P}\mathbb{Z}

be the homomorphism whose pp-component is Σp\Sigma_p.

Surjectivity conjecture. The homomorphism Σ\Sigma is surjective.

This asks whether the differences between the Rasmussen invariants over characteristic zero and over prime fields can realize every finitely supported integer sequence. The source provides no resolution of this question.
