The positive-half TQFT conjecture for psl(11)\mathfrak{psl}(1|1)

From papers

Let H=U(psl(11)+)=C[E]/(E2)H=U(\mathfrak{psl}(1|1)^+)=\mathbb{C}[E]/(E^2), with coproduct and counit

Δ(E)=E1+1E,ε(E)=0.\Delta(E)=E\otimes 1+1\otimes E,\qquad \varepsilon(E)=0.

The algebra HH has representation category Rep(H)\operatorname{Rep}(H) with its tensor product.

Positive-half TQFT conjecture. The TQFT assigning (Rep(H),)(\operatorname{Rep}(H),\otimes) to a point recovers both aspects of the psl(11)\mathfrak{psl}(1|1) Chern–Simons TQFT and aspects of decategorified bordered sutured Heegaard Floer theory in dimensions 11 and 22, thereby making these theories closely related.

This is motivated by the identification U(psl(11))D(U(psl(11)+))U(\mathfrak{psl}(1|1))\cong D(U(\mathfrak{psl}(1|1)^+)), which suggests that the obstruction to extending the corresponding Reshetikhin–Turaev theory to a point disappears in this case. The conjecture is explicitly described as imprecise, and the source gives no resolution.
