The restricted-product conjecture for quasi-endomorphisms of localized integers

About 3 years old · traced to

Let SS be a multiplicatively closed subset of Z\mathbb Z and let S^\hat{S} denote its saturation. Suppose that S^\hat{S} is generated by a possibly infinite number of primes p1,p2,…p_1,p_2,\ldots.

Restricted-product conjecture. The ring of quasi-endomorphisms satisfies

QEnd⁡(S−1Z/Z)≅\sideset′∏pi(Qpi,Zpi).\operatorname{QEnd}\left(S^{-1}\mathbb Z/\mathbb Z\right)\cong\sideset{}{'}\prod_{p_i}(\mathbb Q_{p_i},\mathbb Z_{p_i}).

This would give a complete characterization of the ring of quasi-homomorphisms of S−1Z/ZS^{-1}\mathbb Z/\mathbb Z and extends the finite-prime calculation to an arbitrary possibly infinite set of primes. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
