The optimistic conjecture on canonical Banach topologies for cohomology

Let FF be the coefficient field, let RF\mathcal{R}_F be its Robba ring, and let D\mathcal{D} be a (φ,Γ)(\varphi,\Gamma)-module over RF\mathcal{R}_F. For a representation VV of Gal(Qp/K)\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p/\mathcal{K}_\infty), write Drig(V)\mathbf{D}^\dag_{\mathrm{rig}}(V) for its associated (φ,Γ)(\varphi,\Gamma)-module and H1(K,V)H^1(\mathcal{K}_\infty,V) for its cohomology. Optimistic conjecture. The group H1(D)H^1(\mathcal{D}) carries a natural Banach-space topology, functorial in D\mathcal{D}, which agrees with the Banach-space structure on H1(K,V)H^1(\mathcal{K}_\infty,V) when D=Drig(V)\mathcal{D}=\mathbf{D}^\dag_{\mathrm{rig}}(V). The conjecture would provide a canonical topological framework for the cohomology of (φ,Γ)(\varphi,\Gamma)-modules. The source states that it has not been proved in full generality.
