The Karoubi-generation conjecture for affine Soergel trace categories

From papers

Let nNn\in\mathbb{N} and let Tr(ASBimn)Kar\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{ASBim}_n)^{\operatorname{Kar}} be the idempotent completion of the trace category of affine Soergel bimodules. For integers mim_i and positive integers nin_i satisfying n1++nk=nn_1+\dots+n_k=n, order the pairs by slope m1/n1mk/nkm_1/n_1\leq\dots\leq m_k/n_k, and let Eˉmi,ni\bar E_{m_i,n_i} denote the corresponding SdS_d-antisymmetric objects. Karoubi-generation conjecture. The category Tr(ASBimn)Kar\operatorname{Tr}(\mathrm{ASBim}_n)^{\operatorname{Kar}} is generated by

{Eˉm1,n1Eˉmk,nk}(mi,ni)Z×N,n1++nk=nm1n1mknk.\left\{\bar E_{m_1,n_1}\star\dots\star\bar E_{m_k,n_k}\right\}^{\frac{m_1}{n_1}\leq\dots\leq\frac{m_k}{n_k}}_{\substack{(m_i,n_i)\in\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{N},\\ n_1+\dots+n_k=n}}.

Here generation means that every object is homotopy equivalent to a chain complex built from these objects and their grading shifts. The conjecture concerns whether the expected generators of the non-idempotent-complete trace category continue to generate after Karoubi completion; the supplied source also notes that the analogous geometric functor is expected to send these objects to their commuting-stack counterparts.
