Height classification conjecture for differentials in cyclic equivariant slice spectral sequences

For n,m1n,m\geq 1, consider the C2nC_{2^n}-equivariant spectrum BP(C2n)BP^{(C_{2^n})} and its truncation BP(C2n)mBP^{(C_{2^n})}\langle m\rangle, together with their associated C2nC_{2^n}-slice spectral sequences. Suppose the differentials in the slice spectral sequence of BP(C2n)BP^{(C_{2^n})} are classified by height.

Height classification conjecture. The C2nC_{2^n}-slice spectral sequence of BP(C2n)mBP^{(C_{2^n})}\langle m\rangle contains all differentials in the slice spectral sequence of BP(C2n)BP^{(C_{2^n})} having height at most

h=2n1m.h=2^{n-1}m.

This conjecture would give a transchromatic method for comparing fixed-point computations across heights. The paper notes that the map from the truncation at m+1m+1 to the truncation at mm is surjective on the [...E2[... E_2-page, but the asserted control of all differentials remains open.
