The factorisation conjecture for the overconvergent UU operator

From papers

Let p{2,3,5}p\in\{2,3,5\}, let rr range over some open interval containing 12\frac{1}{2}, and let Sk(r)\mathcal{S}_k(r) be the space on which the overconvergent UU operator acts. A factorisation of the form

U(r)=A(r)DB(r)U^{(r)}=A^{(r)}DB^{(r)}

uses matrices A(r)A^{(r)} and B(r)B^{(r)} with entries in OCp\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}_p}, each congruent to the identity modulo pp. The factorisation conjecture. For all such pp and rr, this factorisation exists, with diagonal entries of DD satisfying

pDiiνpDii224i+1(3i)!2i!23(2i)!41+2ν2((3i)!i!)333i(6i)!(2i)!i!2(3i)!32i+2ν3((2i)!i!)552i(10i)!(3i)!2i!3(5i)!3(2i)!i+2ν5((3i)!i!)\begin{array}{r|c|c|} p & D_{ii} & \nu_p D_{ii}\\ \hline 2 & \dfrac{2^{4i + 1} (3i)!^2 i!^2}{3\cdot (2i)!^4} & 1 + 2 \nu_2\left(\frac{(3i)!}{i!}\right)\\ 3 & \dfrac{3^{3i} (6i)!(2i)!i!}{2\cdot(3i)!^3} & 2i + 2 \nu_3 \left( \frac{(2i)!}{i!}\right)\\ 5 & \dfrac{5^{2i} (10i)!(3i)!^2i!}{3\cdot(5i)!^3(2i)!} & i + 2\nu_5\left(\frac{(3i)!}{i!}\right)\\ \end{array}

The factorisation would make the slopes of UU accessible from the diagonal entries of DD; the claim is open for p=3p=3 and p=5p=5, although computations of the matrix entries suggest it holds for r(13,23)r\in(\frac{1}{3},\frac{2}{3}) in both cases.
