Determinant de Rham cohomology formula for admissible connections

Let f:XSf:X\to S be the family under consideration, let DD be the polar divisor, and write KK for the relevant function field. Let EE be a vector bundle on XX with an admissible connection

:EEΩX1{D}.\nabla:E\to E\otimes\Omega^1_X\{{\mathcal D}\}.

The determinant de Rham cohomology is viewed as an element of ΩK1/dlog(K×)ZQ\Omega^1_K/d\log(K^\times)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb Q, and {c1(ω(D)),}\{c_1(\omega({\mathcal D})),\nabla\} is the class defined from the relative dualizing sheaf, the local connection matrices, and the transfer map described in the preceding construction.

Determinant de Rham formula.

detHDR/S(XD,E)={c1(ω(D)),}ΩK1/dlog(K×)ZQ.\det H^*_{DR/S}(X-D,E)=-\{c_1(\omega({\mathcal D})),\nabla\}\in\Omega^1_K/d\log(K^\times)\otimes_{\mathbb Z}\mathbb Q.

This is presented as a summary of the results for admissible connections, with proofs stated to appear in the cited earlier work; the supplied text gives no resolution status beyond calling the statement a conjecture.
