Nonexistence of a genuine splitting of Real spin bordism

From papers

Let C2C_2 be the cyclic group of order two, let MSpinRc\operatorname{MSpin}^c_{\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}} denote Real spin bordism, let P\mathcal{P} be the indexing set for the Anderson--Brown--Peterson splitting, let kuR4I\operatorname{ku}_{\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}}\langle 4|I|\rangle be the corresponding connective Real complex KK-theory summand for IPI\in\mathcal{P}, and let ZZ be the remaining summand. Nonexistence conjecture. There does not exist a map of genuine C2C_2-spectra

MSpinRc(IPkuR4I)Z\operatorname{MSpin}^c_{\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}} \longrightarrow \left(\bigvee_{I\in\mathcal{P}}\operatorname{ku}_{\operatorname{\mathbb{R}}}\langle 4|I|\rangle\right)\vee Z

whose induced map on underlying spectra is the Anderson--Brown--Peterson map. The proposition preceding this conjecture proves nonexistence for the individual summand when I|I| is odd, and the authors explain that this obstructs the naive genuine refinement of the Anderson--Brown--Peterson splitting; the general assertion remains open.
