About 15 years old · traced to

Consider the 2→42\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:

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.
