The compatibility conjecture for the motivic group structure on projective-line endomorphisms

Let J\mathcal{J} be the Jouanolou device of P1\mathbb{P}^1, and let [J,P1]N[\mathcal{J},\mathbb{P}^1]^\mathrm{N} and [P1,P1]A1[\mathbb{P}^1,\mathbb{P}^1]^{\mathbb{A}^1} denote the corresponding naive and motivic homotopy classes. The bijection

ξ ⁣:[J,P1]N[P1,P1]A1\xi \colon [\mathcal{J},\mathbb{P}^1]^\mathrm{N} \to [\mathbb{P}^1,\mathbb{P}^1]^{\mathbb{A}^1}

identifies the proposed group operation \oplus on the source with the conventional motivic group operation A1\oplus^{\mathbb{A}^1} on the target. The compatibility conjecture. The bijection ξ\xi is a group isomorphism and equals ϕ\phi. Establishing this would identify the explicit group structure on naive maps from the Jouanolou device with the standard motivic group structure on endomorphisms of the projective line; the paper proves that \oplus makes the source an abelian group and constructs the isomorphism ϕ\phi, but compatibility with ξ\xi remains unproved.
