Bergelson–McCutcheon IP-limit positivity conjecture for VIP-systems

From papers

Let H\mathcal H be a Hilbert space and let (Vξ)ξF2ω(V_\xi)_{\xi\in{\mathbb F_2^\omega}} be a VIP-system of unitary operators on H\mathcal H. Suppose that for every fHf\in\mathcal H there is a vector QfHQf\in\mathcal H such that

IP-limξF2ωVξf=Qf\mathop{\operatorname{IP-lim}}_{\xi\in{\mathbb F_2^\omega}}V_\xi f=Qf

weakly.

Bergelson–McCutcheon IP-limit positivity conjecture. For every fHf\in\mathcal H,

Ref,Qf0,\operatorname{Re}\langle f,Qf\rangle\ge 0,

or, equivalently,

IP-limξF2ωRef,Vξf0.\mathop{\operatorname{IP^*-lim}}_{\xi\in{\mathbb F_2^\omega}}\operatorname{Re}\langle f,V_\xi f\rangle\ge 0.

The paper presents this as an adaptation of Conjecture 2 of Bergelson and McCutcheon; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
