The Generalized Distillability Conjecture for critical Werner states

Let m1m\geq1, let Hk=HkAHkB\mathcal{H}_k=\mathcal{H}_k^A\otimes\mathcal{H}_k^B have equal finite local dimensions dkd_k, and let FkF_k be the flip operator on Hk\mathcal{H}_k. Define the critical Werner state ρkW=1Fk/2\rho_k^W=1-F_k/2 and the generalized critical Werner state

ρ(d1,,dm)W=ρ1Wρ2WρmW.\rho_{(d_1,\ldots,d_m)}^W=\rho_1^W\otimes\rho_2^W\otimes\cdots\otimes\rho_m^W.

Generalized Distillability Conjecture. All generalized critical Werner states ρ(d1,,dm)W\rho_{(d_1,\ldots,d_m)}^W, m1m\geq1, are 11-indistillable.

The case m=1m=1 is known because critical Werner states are 11-indistillable, but the assertion for arbitrary numbers and dimensions of tensor factors is open. Since mm and the dkd_k are arbitrary, the conjecture also implies the Distillability Conjecture.
