Characteristic-pp dimensions of multihomogeneous components of B2B_2

Let An(Fp)A_n(\mathbb F_p) be the free associative algebra on nn generators over the finite field Fp\mathbb F_p, and let B2(An(Fp))[m1,,mn]B_2(A_n(\mathbb F_p))[m_1,\ldots,m_n] denote its multihomogeneous component of positive multidegree (m1,,mn)(m_1,\ldots,m_n). Characteristic-pp dimension conjecture. If all mim_i are positive, then

dimB2(An(Fp))[m1,,mn]={2n2,if some mi is not divisible by p,2n11,if every mi is divisible by p.\dim B_2(A_n(\mathbb F_p))[m_1,\ldots,m_n]= \begin{cases} 2^{n-2},&\text{if some }m_i\text{ is not divisible by }p,\\ 2^{n-1}-1,&\text{if every }m_i\text{ is divisible by }p. \end{cases}

This is presented as a consequence of the conjectural integral description of B2B_2 and predicts the precise characteristic-dependent dimension jump.
