Conjecture on non-degeneracy of bilinear forms for Brauer algebra modules

From papers

Let κ\kappa be a field, let z^κ\hat{z}\in\kappa, and let Bn(z^)B_n(\hat{z}) be an algebra over κ\kappa, with 2 \geq 2. Define polynomials pi(z)p_i(z) by p1(z)=(z+2)(z1)p_1(z)=(z+2)(z-1) and

pi(z)={(z+2i)(zi)(z+i2)pi1(z)if i is odd,(z+2i)(zi)pi1(z)if i is even.p_i(z)=\begin{cases}(z+2i)(z-i)(z+i-2)p_{i-1}(z)&\text{if }i\text{ is odd},\\(z+2i)(z-i)p_{i-1}(z)&\text{if }i\text{ is even}. \end{cases}

Non-degeneracy conjecture. (i) If n=2k+1n=2k+1, then the bilinear form on the Bn(z^)B_n(\hat{z})-module S(1)S^{(1)} determined by the referenced construction is non-degenerate if and only if pk(z^)0p_k(\hat{z})\ne 0. (ii) If n=2kn=2k, then the bilinear form on the Bn(z^)B_n(\hat{z})-module SS^{\varnothing} determined by the referenced construction is non-degenerate if and only if z^0\hat{z}\ne 0 and pk(z^)0p_k(\hat{z})\ne 0.

These criteria give explicit parameter conditions for non-degeneracy of bilinear forms on the indicated cell modules of Brauer algebras. The surrounding discussion contrasts them with semisimplicity criteria, but the supplied text does not establish their resolution.
