Finiteness conjecture for topologically realizable filtered lambda-ring structures

Let nn be an integer with n3n\geq 3. Consider the filtered truncated polynomial ring

Z[x]/(xn).\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^n).

A filtered λ\lambda-ring structure is a filtered λ\lambda-ring structure on this ring, and a structure is topologically realizable if it is isomorphic to the KK-theory of a torsionfree space. Finiteness conjecture. Among the uncountably many isomorphism classes of filtered λ\lambda-ring structures on Z[x]/(xn)\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^n), only finitely many are topologically realizable. The cases n=3n=3 and n=4n=4 are known, while the assertion for general nn remains open.
