Schur-functor decomposition conjecture for lower central series quotients

Let T(V)T(V) be the tensor algebra of a vector space VV, and let Bk(T(V))B_k(T(V)) be its kkth lower central series quotient. For a Young diagram λ\lambda, let Gλ\mathcal{G}_\lambda denote the corresponding Schur functor occurring in the paper. Schur-functor decomposition conjecture. Let k3k\geq 3. There exists a finite collection Λ\Lambda of Young diagrams λ\lambda, and an isomorphism of abstract Schur functors

VBk(T(V))λΛGλ.V\mapsto B_k(T(V))\cong \bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda}\mathcal{G}_\lambda.

This would imply the rationality conjecture above. It strengthens the preceding structural bound and remains open in the general setting.
