The odd-order and generation conjecture for the differential-operator algebra of a matrix weight

Let WW be the matrix weight under consideration, and let D(W)\mathcal D(W) denote its algebra of differential operators. The paper constructs four differential operators D1,D2,D3,D4D_1,D_2,D_3,D_4 of order two and has verified computationally that there are no operators of order three or order five. Odd-order and generation conjecture. There are no operators of odd order in D(W)\mathcal D(W), and the second-order differential operators D1,D2,D3,D4D_1,D_2,D_3,D_4 generate the algebra D(W)\mathcal D(W). These claims extrapolate the computations excluding orders three and five and the observed generation of the order-four quotient; their general validity is left open.
