Bremner–Felipe–Sánchez-Ortega conjecture relating the KP and BSO algorithms

Let F\mathbb{F} be a field, let ω\omega be a multilinear nn-ary operation over F\mathbb{F}, and fix a degree dd. For 1ed1\leq e\leq d, let AeA_e be the multilinear degree-ee subspace of the free nonassociative nn-ary algebra on ee generators, and let IeAeI_e\subseteq A_e consist of the polynomial identities satisfied by ω\omega. Let BeB_e be the multilinear degree-ee subspace of the free nonassociative algebra with nn operations of arity nn, and let KP(Ie)Be\mathrm{KP}(I_e)\subseteq B_e be obtained by applying the KP algorithm. Define

KPd(ω)=1edKP(Ie).\mathrm{KP}_d(\omega)=\bigoplus_{1\leq e\leq d}\mathrm{KP}(I_e).

Applying the BSO algorithm to ω\omega gives multilinear nn-ary operations ω^1,,ω^n\widehat{\omega}_1,\dots,\widehat{\omega}_n. Let JeBeJ_e\subseteq B_e be the polynomial identities satisfied by these operations, and define

Jd(ω^1,,ω^n)=1edJe.J_d(\widehat{\omega}_1,\dots,\widehat{\omega}_n)=\bigoplus_{1\leq e\leq d}J_e.

Bremner–Felipe–Sánchez-Ortega conjecture. If F\mathbb{F} has characteristic 00 or p>dp>d, then

KPd(ω)=Jd(ω^1,,ω^n).\mathrm{KP}_d(\omega)=J_d(\widehat{\omega}_1,\dots,\widehat{\omega}_n).

The conjecture asserts that applying the KP algorithm to the identities of ω\omega and directly computing the identities of the operations produced by the BSO algorithm give the same result. The characteristic assumption ensures the relevant group algebra FSd\mathbb{F}S_d is semisimple; the conjecture is presented as an open problem concerning the compatibility of these two constructions.
