Explicit splitting conjecture for truncated de Rham cohomology of the Drinfeld space

Let GG be the group acting on the Drinfeld space, let D(G)D(G) be its distribution algebra, and let Ω\Omega^\bullet be the de Rham complex. For {2,,n2}\ell\in\{2,\dots,n-2\}, write τΩ\tau_{\leq\ell}\Omega^\bullet for the truncation and H(Ω)[]H^\ell(\Omega^\bullet)[-\ell] for the shifted \ell-th cohomology complex. A section is sought in the derived category of finite length coadmissible D(G)D(G)-modules with Orlik–Strauch irreducible constituents.

Explicit splitting conjecture. For {2,,n2}\ell\in\{2,\dots,n-2\}, the morphism of complexes

τΩH(Ω)[]\tau_{\leq\ell}\Omega^\bullet\twoheadrightarrow H^\ell(\Omega^\bullet)[-\ell]

admits a section in the derived category of finite length coadmissible D(G)D(G)-modules with Orlik–Strauch irreducible constituents.

Such sections would extend the explicit splittings already known in degrees 00 and 11 and would yield a full explicit splitting of the de Rham complex in the corresponding range. The paper gives a construction in the case n=4n=4, =2\ell=2, but states the general existence claim as a conjecture.
