Equality of the sufficient and admissible parameter sets for conditional entropies

From papers

Let Dbulk\mathcal{D}_{\rm bulk} and D\mathcal{D}_{-\infty} denote the parameter sets for which the corresponding conditional entropies are monotone under conditionally mixing channels. Let D~bulk\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}_{\rm bulk} and D~\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}_{-\infty} denote the sets defined by the sufficient conditions in the paper. Parameter-set equality conjecture.

D~bulk=DbulkandD~=D.\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}_{\rm bulk}=\mathcal{D}_{\rm bulk}\quad\text{and}\quad\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}_{-\infty}=\mathcal{D}_{-\infty}.

The proposition establishes the corresponding inclusions and proves necessity under finite-integrability assumptions, giving a tight characterization for discrete measures with finite support. The conjectured equalities without those additional assumptions remain unresolved; the parser marks this candidate as disproved, but the supplied evidence only describes it as a conjecture and does not state a counterexample.
