Existence of equivariant bases for chord-diagram spaces

Let Cnm{\cal C}^m_n denote the space of chord diagrams with mm distinguishable components and degree nn, modulo the 4T-relation. The symmetric group on the components acts on this space. An equivariant basis is a basis preserved by this group action up to permutation. Equivariant-basis conjecture. There exists an equivariant basis for Cnm{\cal C}^m_n for all mm and nn. This would provide a basis compatible with the symmetric-group action relevant to links with indistinguishable components; the source does not give evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
