Strong well-posedness conjecture for measure-valued drifts driven by fractional Brownian motion

Let bb be a finite signed measure on R\mathbb{R}, let H(0,1/2)H\in(0,1/2), and consider the stochastic differential equation

dXt=b(Xt)dt+dBtH,dX_t=b(X_t)\,dt+dB_t^H,

where BHB^H is fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter HH. Strong well-posedness conjecture. For every such bb and HH, the equation has a unique strong solution. This conjecture would close the gap in the known strong well-posedness theory for measure-valued drifts: the result is established up to H<(133)/2H<(\sqrt{13}-3)/2, while the remaining range up to 1/21/2 is expected to hold but is described as a very hard challenge.
