The power-of-p conjecture for Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg differentials

Let AA be an Fp\mathbb F_p-algebra and let X/AX/A be a scheme. Consider the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg spectral sequence for X/AX/A, with differentials denoted by drd_r. Power-of-pp conjecture. The differentials drd_r are zero unless rr is a power of pp. The theorem immediately preceding this conjecture proves vanishing unless r1(modp1)r\equiv 1\pmod{p-1}, while the example X=BμpnX=B\mu_{p^n} shows nontrivial differentials on page pnp^n; whether all remaining possible nonzero differentials occur only on pages that are powers of pp is left open.
