Conjecture on the map from W_0(Q_beta(q)) to twisted L-groups

About 2 years old · traced to

Let (B∗,β)(B_*,\beta) be a chain bundle, let q≥0q\geq0, and let ηβ ⁣:W0(Qβ(q))→L2q(B∗,β)\eta_\beta\colon W_0(Q_\beta(q))\to L^{2q}(B_*,\beta) be the natural homomorphism. Conjecture on ηβ\eta_\beta. If Hq−1(B∗)H_{q-1}(B_*) is torsion free, then ηβ\eta_\beta is split injective. If, in addition, Hi(B∗)=0H_i(B_*)=0 for all i<qi<q, then ηβ\eta_\beta is an isomorphism. The conjecture would identify the Witt group of the form parameter with the relevant twisted LL-group under the stated connectivity and torsion hypotheses; the source gives a proposed construction of an inverse but no proof.
