Universality conjecture for deformations of prismatic GG-FF-gauges

Let kk be the residue field, let μ\mu be 1-bounded, and let QG\mathcharF\mathcharGaugeμ(k)\mathscr{Q}\in G\mathchar`-F\mathchar`-\mathrm{Gauge}_\mu(k). Let RG,μR_{G,\mu} represent the deformation functor on complete regular local rings over W(k)W(k), and let Quniv\mathscr{Q}^{\mathrm{univ}} be the corresponding universal deformation. For a complete noetherian local quasisyntomic ring RR over W(k)W(k) with residue field kk, let Hom(RG,μ,R)e\operatorname{Hom}(R_{G,\mu},R)_e denote the set of local homomorphisms over W(k)W(k). Universality conjecture for prismatic GG-FF-gauge deformations. The map

Hom(RG,μ,R)eDef(Q)R\operatorname{Hom}(R_{G,\mu},R)_e\to\operatorname{Def}(\mathscr{Q})_R

induced by Quniv\mathscr{Q}^{\mathrm{univ}} is bijective. Moreover, for every perfectoid pair (S,a)(S,a^\flat) over W(k)W(k), after viewing Q\mathscr{Q} over S/aS/a by base change, the map

Hom(RG,μ,S/am)eDef(Q)S/am\operatorname{Hom}(R_{G,\mu},S/a^m)_e\to\operatorname{Def}(\mathscr{Q})_{S/a^m}

is bijective for every m1m\geq1, where the target is the set of isomorphism classes of deformations in G\mathcharF\mathcharGaugeμ(S/am)G\mathchar`-F\mathchar`-\mathrm{Gauge}_\mu(S/a^m). This proposes extension of the universal deformation beyond complete regular local rings; the general assertion remains open, with known special cases for G=GLNG=\operatorname{GL}_N.
