Kato's local epsilon conjecture
Let be a triple as in the paper's setup, where is an -representation of and is a -basis of . Let be the determinant module defined there. Kato's local epsilon conjecture. There exists a unique compatible family of isomorphisms
for all such triples, satisfying base-change compatibility, multiplicativity in exact sequences, the change-of-basis formula for , the stated duality commutative diagram, and agreement with the de Rham epsilon-isomorphism for every de Rham triple . This is Kato's proposed foundational compatibility conjecture for local epsilon-isomorphisms. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
