Power-operation conjecture for cyclic A-infinity structures

Let RR be an even commutative SS-algebra, let xRdx\in R_d, and let pp be a prime such that nn is invertible in RR_* for every n<pn<p. Let cˉn(x)πp(d+2)2R/(p,x)\bar c_n(x)\in\pi_{p(d+2)-2}R/(p,x) denote the cyclic obstruction class, and let P~\tilde P be a power operation. Power-operation conjecture. If 2(p1)d2(p-1)\mid d, then there is a power operation

P~:RdRp(d+2)2R/p\tilde P:R_d\longrightarrow R_{p(d+2)-2}R/p

such that

cˉn(x)=P~(x)(mod(p,x))\bar c_n(x)=\tilde P(x)\pmod{(p,x)}

for all xx. This conjecture concerns the remaining obstruction to extending cyclic AnA_n structures when n=pn=p is not invertible; the supplied passage gives no resolution.
