Kernel inclusion for the WKB-deformed central charge

Let Σ\Sigma be the spectral curve, let Σ~\widetilde{\Sigma} be the covering on which the Seiberg–Witten differential is defined, and let

Γ:=H1(Σ~,Z)/kerZ\Gamma:= H_1(\widetilde{\Sigma},\mathbb{Z}) / \operatorname{ker} Z

be the physical charge lattice, where ZZ is the classical central-charge homomorphism. Let ZZ_\hbar be the \hbar-deformation defined by the WKB quantum periods:

ZHom(H1(Σ~,Z),C[[]]).Z_\hbar \in \operatorname{Hom}(H_1(\widetilde{\Sigma},\mathbb{Z}),\mathbb{C}[[\hbar]]).

Kernel inclusion conjecture. There is an inclusion of kernels

kerZkerZ.\operatorname{ker} Z \subseteq \operatorname{ker} Z_\hbar.

If true, the WKB periods descend from H1(Σ~,Z)H_1(\widetilde{\Sigma},\mathbb{Z}) to a well-defined map on the physical charge lattice, so the quantum deformation preserves the classical equivalence relation. The supplied text does not state whether this inclusion is proved or remains open.
