Mod-p vanishing conjecture for the relative quantum connection

Let pp be a prime satisfying the condition denoted by, let nn and ff be the parameters appearing there, and let uq\nabla_{u\partial_q} be the relative quantum connection on SHu,q(M,D;Z)\mathit{SH}^*_{u,q}(M,D;\mathbb{Z}). The expression f(uqp)f(\nabla_{u\partial_q}^p) is the polynomial in the pp-th power of this connection appearing in the source.

Mod-pp vanishing conjecture. Assume pp is chosen so that holds. Then

qnpf(uqp):SHu,q(M,D;Z)SHu,q(M,D;Z)q^{np}f(\nabla_{u\partial_q}^p):\mathit{SH}^*_{u,q}(M,D;\mathbb{Z})\longrightarrow\mathit{SH}^*_{u,q}(M,D;\mathbb{Z})

is zero modulo pp. This is proposed as a common strengthening of two preceding torsion statements. The supplied text does not establish the strengthening, so it remains open.
