The conditional W-way MPST representation conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let D~\widetilde D be a real-valued functional on bounded conditional WW-tuples (π∣G,pG)(\boldsymbol{\pi}_{|G},p_G) over a fixed Polish alphabet pair (X,G)(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{G}). Assume that D~\widetilde D satisfies joint data-processing inequalities under main-system stochastic operators TY∣XGT_{Y|XG} and conditioning-system stochastic operators TH∣GT_{H|G}, is additive under tensor products of independent extensions, and vanishes on coincident tuples:

D~((π,…,π)∣G ∥ pG)=0\widetilde D((\pi,\dots,\pi)_{|G}\,\|\,p_G)=0

for every π\pi and pGp_G. Let A^\widehat{\mathcal{A}} be the unconditional four-stratum index space and set

A^cond=A^×[1,∞].\widehat{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathrm{cond}}=\widehat{\mathcal{A}}\times[1,\infty].

Conditional WW-way MPST conjecture. There is a unique inner- and outer-regular finite Borel measure μ~\widetilde\mu on A^cond\widehat{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathrm{cond}} such that

D~(π∣G ∥ pG)=∫A^condCα,β(π∣G ∥ pG) dμ~(α,β),\widetilde D(\boldsymbol{\pi}_{|G}\,\|\,p_G)=\int_{\widehat{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathrm{cond}}}\mathsf{C}_{\alpha,\beta}(\boldsymbol{\pi}_{|G}\,\|\,p_G)\,d\widetilde\mu(\alpha,\beta),

and conversely every such measure defines a functional with the stated properties. The converse is established atom by atom, but the forward implication remains conjectural because the conditional spectral-exhaustion step is not proved; in particular, the conditional tropical and KL-edge factors remain part of the open step.
