Generalized non-commutative degeneration conjecture

Abstract: In this paper we propose a generalization of the Kontsevich--Soibelman conjecture on the degeneration of Hochschild-to-cyclic spectral sequence for smooth and compact DG category. Our conjecture states identical vanishing of a certain map between bi-additive invariants of arbitrary small DG categories over a field of characteristic zero. We show that this generalized conjecture follows from the Kontsevich--Soibelman conjecture and the so--called conjecture on smooth categorical compactification.
