Frobenius descent conjecture for semi-stable bundles

Let XX be the genus-two curve in characteristic 22, let X1X_1 be its Frobenius twist, let F ⁣:XX1F\colon X\to X_1 be the relative Frobenius morphism, and let MX\mathrm{M}_X and MX1\mathrm{M}_{X_1} denote the moduli spaces of semi-stable rank-22 vector bundles with the fixed determinant considered in the paper. Let BB be the bundle appearing in the condition below. Frobenius descent conjecture. For any semi-stable bundle EMXE\in \mathrm{M}_X satisfying

h0(X,EB)=0,h^0(X,E\otimes B)=0,

there exists a semi-stable bundle E1MX1E_1\in \mathrm{M}_{X_1} such that

FE1=E.F^*E_1=E.

This conjecture asks whether every point outside the divisor defined by the vanishing condition admits a semi-stable Frobenius antecedent. It is presented as an optimistic conjecture concerning the surjectivity of the Frobenius pullback map; the supplied text gives no resolution.
