The multiplicative lifting conjecture for the slice filtration

Let SptP1Σ(k){\mathbf{Spt}}^\Sigma_{{\mathbb P}^1}(k) be the category of symmetric P1\mathbb{P}^1-spectra over kk, and let SH(k){\operatorname{{\mathcal S}{\mathcal H}}}(k) be its homotopy category. Write sns_n for the nnth slice functor and nsn\oplus_n s_n for the resulting graded functor. The multiplicative lifting conjecture. The functor nsn\oplus_n s_n and the natural transformation

μ,:nsnnsnnsn\mu_{*,*}:\oplus_n s_n\wedge\oplus_n s_n\to\oplus_n s_n\circ\wedge

on SH(k){\operatorname{{\mathcal S}{\mathcal H}}}(k) lift to a functor on SptP1Σ(k){\mathbf{Spt}}^\Sigma_{{\mathbb P}^1}(k) with values in graded objects, together with the same natural transformation as a natural transformation of bi-graded functors

SptP1Σ(k)SptP1Σ(k)SptP1Σ(k).{\mathbf{Spt}}^\Sigma_{{\mathbb P}^1}(k)\otimes{\mathbf{Spt}}^\Sigma_{{\mathbb P}^1}(k)\to{\mathbf{Spt}}^\Sigma_{{\mathbb P}^1}(k).

Such a lift would provide a multiplicative refinement of the slice filtration at the level of symmetric spectra. The authors explicitly call this a working assumption or conjecture, and the supplied text gives no resolution.
