The q-Virasoro cohomology conjecture

Let Qn+[t]Q_n^{+[t]} be the maps in the complex associated with the screening charge Qn+Q_n^+, and let HJ;n,n{\cal H}_{J;n',n} denote the proposed irreducible highest weight representation space of the qq-Virasoro algebra with central charge cc and highest weight hJ;n,n=hJ,J;n,nh_{J;n',n}=h_{J,J;n',n}. The q-Virasoro cohomology conjecture. The complex has nontrivial cohomology only at t=0t=0:

KerQn+[t]/ImQn+[t1]={0,t0,HJ;n,n,t=0.\operatorname{Ker} Q_n^{+[t]}/\operatorname{Im} Q_n^{+[t-1]}=\begin{cases}0,&t\ne0,\\{\cal H}_{J;n',n},&t=0.\end{cases}

The conjecture identifies the zero-degree cohomology with the irreducible qq-Virasoro representation, while the source provides no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
