The doublet and sextet conjecture for umbral modules

Let XX be a Niemeier root system with Coxeter number mm. A representation is a doublet if it is the direct sum of two copies of one representation, and a sextet if it is the direct sum of six copies of one representation. Doublet and sextet conjecture. The representation Kr,D/4mXK^X_{r,-D/4m} is a doublet if and only if D0D\ne0 and Dnλ2D\ne-n\lambda^2 for every integer λ\lambda and every nn listed in the source's discriminant table for XX. If X=A83X=A_8^3, then Kr,D/4mXK^X_{r,-D/4m} is a sextet if and only if

D27λ2D\ne-27\lambda^2

for some integer λ\lambda. The source presents this as a conjecture based on observed multiplicity patterns; no resolution is supplied.
