The telescope conjecture for derived Artin motives over local fields
Let be a nonarchimedean local field and let be a field of characteristic . Does the tensor-triangulated category of derived Artin motives satisfy the telescope conjecture; equivalently, is every smashing tensor ideal of generated by compact objects?

Progress summary
A new report claims substantial progress for unequal-characteristic local fields, but it does not settle the conjecture in full.
The problem asks whether the telescope conjecture holds for derived Artin motives over local fields. The reported result addresses only a stated unequal-characteristic condition, not the entire arithmetic category.
Known results
- For a finite field and arbitrary coefficient field , the big derived category is stratified, has weakly noetherian compact spectrum, and satisfies the telescope property.
- The big tensor-triangulated category is BHS-stratified and satisfies the telescope conjecture.
September 2026 claimed advance
A September 2026 arXiv report claims stratification and generic noetherianity of the Balmer spectrum for derived Artin motives over selected unequal-characteristic local fields, implying the telescope question under that condition. This claim is unverified and explicitly is not a general resolution.
Current status (as of September 2026): The telescope conjecture is claimed for selected unequal-characteristic local fields, while the general local-field case remains open and the new claim is unverified.
