The derivation-space conjecture for components of multiplicative mapping spaces

Let RR be a commutative ring spectrum, let AA and BB be RR-algebras, and let f:ABf:A\rightarrow B be an RR-algebra map. Write FR-alg(A,B)F_{R\text{-alg}}(A,B) for the space of RR-algebra maps and DerR(A,B){\bf Der}_R(A,B) for the derived spectrum of RR-derivations. The derivation-space conjecture. The connected component of ff in FR-alg(A,B)F_{R\text{-alg}}(A,B) is weakly equivalent to the connected component of ΩDerR(A,B)\Omega^\infty {\bf Der}_R(A,B). In particular, it is an infinite loop space. The claim would identify each component of the multiplicative mapping space with the corresponding component of an infinite loop space; the supplied text gives only evidence for it and does not state a resolution.
