Conca–Krattenthaler–Watanabe's regular-sequence conjecture for four power sums

Let ANA\subset\mathbb{N}^* have A=4|A|=4, say A={a1,a2,a3,a4}A=\{a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4\}, with gcd(A)=1\gcd(A)=1, and let pA(4)p_A(4) denote the corresponding four power sum symmetric polynomials in four variables. Conca–Krattenthaler–Watanabe's conjecture. The sequence pA(4)p_A(4) is regular if and only if: at least two aia_i are even, at least one is divisible by 33, and at least one is divisible by 44; if EE is the set of even elements of AA and d=gcd(E)d=\gcd(E), then {a/d:aE}\{a/d:a\in E\} contains an even number; and AA does not contain a subset of the form {d,2d,5d}\{d,2d,5d\}. The source presents this as the recalled conjecture on power sums in four variables; no resolution is supplied here.
