The Grassmann-algebraic identity for the 2-to-4 Pachner move

Consider the 242\to4 Pachner move replacing the 4-simplices (12345)(12345) and (12346)(12346) by (12356)(12356), (12456)(12456), (13456)(13456), and (23456)(23456). Let W~ijklm\tilde{\mathcal W}_{ijklm} denote the corresponding Grassmann weights, let aijkla_{ijkl} and bijklb_{ijkl} be the Grassmann variables associated with inner tetrahedra, let ζij\zeta_{ij} be the edge parameters, and let w156,256,356,456w_{156,256,356,456} be a Grassmann element associated with the four inner 2-faces. The 2-to-4 Pachner-move identity. The following identity holds:

W~12345W~12346da1234db1234ζ34\int \tilde {\mathcal W}_{12345} \tilde {\mathcal W}_{12346} \frac{\mathrm da_{1234}\,\mathrm db_{1234}}{\zeta_{34}} =ζ56W~12356W~12456W~13456W~23456w156,256,356,456= - \zeta_{56} \int \tilde {\mathcal W}_{12356} \tilde {\mathcal W}_{12456} \tilde {\mathcal W}_{13456} \tilde {\mathcal W}_{23456} w_{156,256,356,456} ×da1256db1256ζ56da1356db1356ζ56da1456db1456ζ56da2356db2356ζ56da2456db2456ζ56da3456db3456ζ56.\times \frac{\mathrm da_{1256} \,\mathrm db_{1256}}{\zeta_{56}} \frac{\mathrm da_{1356} \,\mathrm db_{1356}}{\zeta_{56}} \frac{\mathrm da_{1456} \,\mathrm db_{1456}}{\zeta_{56}} \frac{\mathrm da_{2356} \,\mathrm db_{2356}}{\zeta_{56}} \frac{\mathrm da_{2456} \,\mathrm db_{2456}}{\zeta_{56}} \frac{\mathrm da_{3456} \,\mathrm db_{3456}}{\zeta_{56}}.

The identity has been verified for the undeformed part and computationally checked only for selected parameter values in the available verification, so its general validity remains unestablished.
