Uniqueness conjecture for the parameter-dependent canonical trace

Let MM be a compact manifold and let ΓRp\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^p be a connected cone with nonempty interior and HdR1(Γ)=0H^1_{\rm dR}(\Gamma)=0. Let τ:CL(M,Γ)sym~(Γ)/P\tau:{\rm CL}^*(M,\Gamma)\rightarrow \widetilde{\operatorname{sym}}^*(\Gamma)/\mathcal{P} be a linear map satisfying properties (i), (ii), and (iv) of Theorem 3.4. Uniqueness conjecture. There is a constant cc such that

τ=cTR.\tau=c\,\operatorname{TR}.

The conjecture asserts that properties (i), (ii), and (iv) uniquely determine the trace TR\operatorname{TR} up to a scalar factor, without requiring its prescribed values on the larger class of operators in property (iii).
