Extension invariance conjecture for filtered lambda-ring structures

Let nn be an integer with n3n\geq 3, and let RR and SS be isomorphic filtered λ\lambda-ring structures on

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

Let σ:RS\sigma:R\xrightarrow{\cong}S be an isomorphism. A filtered λ\lambda-ring structure R~\widetilde R on Z[x]/(xn+1)\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^{n+1}) is an extension of RR when

ψR~p(x)ψRp(x)(modxn)\psi^p_{\widetilde R}(x)\equiv\psi^p_R(x)\pmod{x^n}

for every prime pp. Extension invariance conjecture. There exists an isomorphism σ:RS\sigma:R\xrightarrow{\cong}S such that, for every extension R~\widetilde R of RR, the transported operations

ψS~p(x)=(σ1ψR~pσ)(x)\psi^p_{\widetilde S}(x)=(\sigma^{-1}\circ\psi^p_{\widetilde R}\circ\sigma)(x)

form a filtered λ\lambda-ring structure S~\widetilde S on Z[x]/(xn+1)\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^{n+1}). The statement concerns whether extensions are preserved under a suitably chosen isomorphism and remains open in the supplied text.
