The van Est theorem for double Lie groupoids

Let a double Lie groupoid have an associated LA-groupoid obtained by differentiation in the vertical direction. Let the vertical source fiber be nn-connected, where connectivity is understood in the relevant (2,1)(2,1)-categorical sense.

Double-groupoid van Est conjecture. There is a van Est map from the cohomology of the double Lie groupoid to the cohomology of its LA-groupoid. If differentiation takes place in the vertical direction and the vertical source fiber is nn-connected, then this map is an isomorphism through degree nn and is injective in degree n+1n+1.

This is the proposed higher analogue of the ordinary van Est isomorphism theorem. It remains conjectural in the source.
