Layered degree-one symmetric homology conjecture for the polynomial algebra

Let kk be a commutative ring, let k[t]k[t] be the polynomial algebra, and for m0m\geq 0 let HS1(k[t])tmHS_1(k[t])_{t^m} denote its tmt^m-layered symmetric homology, obtained from the decomposition by products of tensor factors. Polynomial-layer conjecture.

HS1(k[t])tm={0,m=0,1,k/2k,m2.HS_1\left(k[t]\right)_{t^m}=\begin{cases}0,&m=0,1,\\ k/2k,&m\geq 2. \end{cases}

The conjecture is based on computations using cyclic monoids and describes the degree-one contribution of every monomial layer, but no proof for all mm is supplied.
