Positive-characteristic freeness conjecture for Weyl-algebra bimodules

From papers

Let RR be a finitely generated smooth commutative algebra over Z\mathbb Z, let gAut(Pn,R)g\in\operatorname{Aut}(P_{n,R}), and for each sufficiently large prime pp let Mg,pM_{g,p} be a bimodule over An,R/pRA_{n,R/pR} corresponding to the Morita autoequivalence induced by the Frobenius transform of gg. Positive-characteristic freeness conjecture. For all sufficiently large pp, the bimodule Mg,pM_{g,p} is a free rank-one left An,R/pRA_{n,R/pR}-module.

This is stated as an equivalent reformulation of the main Weyl–Poisson automorphism conjecture. The paper notes a lack of clear evidence and points to characteristic-zero projective Weyl-algebra modules that are rank one without being free; no resolution is supplied.
