The maximal nilpotency conjecture for Verp\mathsf{Ver}_{p^\infty}

Let C\mathcal{C} be a tensor category. For every simple object L\mathbbm1L\ne\mathbbm{1}, require that SymL\operatorname{Sym} L be finite, and for every non-split monomorphism α:\mathbbm1X\alpha:\mathbbm{1}\hookrightarrow X, require that αn:\mathbbm1SymnX\alpha^n:\mathbbm{1}\to\operatorname{Sym}^nX vanish for some nn. A tensor category satisfying both conditions is maximally nilpotent, or MN. Maximal nilpotency conjecture. The category Verp\mathsf{Ver}_{p^\infty} is MN. Maximal nilpotency is characterized in the surrounding text by nilpotence of the radical in every algebra object and by the integral-domain property of domains; the source gives no resolution status for this assertion.
