Cord-ring conjecture for unit conormal contact homology

Let KK be a codimension 22 submanifold of a manifold MM, let LKLK be its unit conormal Legendrian submanifold in the contact manifold STMST^*M of unit covectors, and let the cord ring of KK be the quotient defined from its cord algebra. Cord-ring conjecture. The cord ring of KK is the zero-dimensional relative contact homology of LKLK in STMST^*M. The cord ring is already an isotopy invariant and distinguishes the unknotted S2S^2 in S4S^4 from spun knots arising from knots with nontrivial cord ring, but the asserted identification with relative contact homology is not established here.
