Conjecture on the number of linear relations in length two

About 13 years old · traced to

Let k≥4k\geq 4. Consider the linear relations among the generators of the weight-kk, length-two component gr⁡k,2W⁡,L⁡qMZ⁡\operatorname{gr}^{\operatorname{W},\operatorname{L}}_{k,2}\operatorname{q\mathcal{M}\mathcal{Z}}. The relation-count conjecture. For every weight k≥4k\geq 4, the number of such linear relations equals

⌊k2⌋−1.\left\lfloor\frac{k}{2}\right\rfloor-1.

The authors verified the claim for k≤20k\leq 20, where this method produced all observed length-two relations; the assertion is proposed on the basis of that computation.
