Functorial Goldman–Turaev formality conjecture for framed surfaces

From papers

Let PaB^f\boldsymbol{\widehat{\mathbf{PaB}}}^f be the prounipotent completion of the operad of parenthesized framed braids, let PaB^gf\boldsymbol{\widehat{\mathbf{PaB}}}^f_g be the corresponding operad module for a compact oriented surface of genus gg, and let F1F_1 denote a full 360360^\circ rotation of the framing. For n0n\geq 0, let ff be a framing on the surface Σg,n+1\Sigma_{g,n+1}, and let Kn\overline{K}_n, KnK_n, MM, UKn+2U\overline{K}_{n+2}, and OpRfΔ(n+2)\mathrm{OpR}^\Delta_f(n+2) be the objects and spaces defined in the paper. Functorial Goldman–Turaev conjecture. There exists a section

γf:Kn+2Kn+2\gamma^f:\overline{K}_{n+2}\longrightarrow K_{n+2}

and an isomorphism of KnKn\overline{K}_n\oplus\overline{K}_n-modules

φ:MUKn+2\varphi:M\longrightarrow U\overline{K}_{n+2}

such that

((PaB^f,PaB^gf,F1),γf,φ)OpRfΔ(n+2),((\widehat{\mathbf{PaB}}^f,\widehat{\mathbf{PaB}}^f_g,F_1),\gamma^f,\varphi)\in\mathrm{OpR}^\Delta_f(n+2),

and such that the map Λn+2\Lambda_{n+2} sends this structure to

(Kπ^,[,],δf),(|\widehat{\mathbb{K}\pi}|,[-,-],\delta^f),

the Goldman–Turaev bialgebra on Σg,n+1\Sigma_{g,n+1} associated with ff. The conjecture proposes a functorial algebraic realization of the Goldman–Turaev bialgebra from the completed parenthesized framed braid operad and its surface module; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence, so its status remains open.
