Balmer's Nerves of Steel Conjecture

From papers

Let \catC\cat{C} be a rigid tttt-category. Its comparison map

ϕ ⁣:\Spch(\catC)\Spc(\catC)\phi\colon \Spc^h(\cat C) \twoheadrightarrow \Spc(\cat C)

Balmer's Nerves of Steel Conjecture. The map ϕ\phi is bijective. This conjecture seeks to reconcile the homological and triangular spectra of a rigid tensor-triangulated category. The source explains that the comparison map is known to be surjective and that the conjecture holds in the classical stable homotopy example, but does not provide a general resolution.
