Fock–Goncharov's algebraic modular functor conjecture for PGLn+1\mathrm{PGL}_{n+1}

Let G=PGL⁡n+1G=\operatorname{PGL}_{n+1}, let SS be a marked surface, and let cc be an essential simple closed curve on SS. Let S′S' be obtained by cutting SS open along cc, and let S∘S^\circ be obtained by shrinking the resulting boundary circles c+c_+ and c−c_- to punctures p+p_+ and p−p_-. Let LG,S\mathbb L_{G,S} and LG,S′\mathbb L_{G,S'} be the corresponding quantum universal Laurent rings. Let Ic⊂LG,S′\mathcal I_c\subset\mathbb L_{G,S'} be the central ideal generated by the relations χp+=χp−∗\chi_{p_+}=\chi^*_{p_-}, and let W(c)W(c) be the diagonal subgroup of Wp+×Wp−W_{p_+}\times W_{p_-} preserving this ideal. Assume that neither p+p_+ nor p−p_- is the only special point on its connected component of S′S'. Algebraic modular functor conjecture. There is a canonical subalgebra RG(c)⊂LG,SR_G(c)\subset\mathbb L_{G,S} and an algebra isomorphism

ηc:LG,SRG(c)≃(LG,S′/Ic)W(c),\eta_c:\mathbb L_{G,S}^{R_G(c)}\simeq\left(\mathbb L_{G,S'}/\mathcal I_c\right)^{W(c)},

where LG,SRG(c)\mathbb L_{G,S}^{R_G(c)} is the centralizer of RG(c)R_G(c) in LG,S\mathbb L_{G,S}. The map is equivariant for the action of the centralizer ΓS;c\Gamma_{S;c} of the Dehn twist along cc, and restricts to an isomorphism RG(c)≃RG(p)R_G(c)\simeq R_G(p). This is the proposed algebraic modular-functor behavior of the quantum Teichmüller algebras under cutting and gluing surfaces; the source gives the conjecture with references to Fock–Goncharov and Ganev–Schrader, and does not state a resolution.
