Characterization conjecture for tensor modules over Mackey Lie algebras

Let VV be a countable-dimensional vector space, let g=sl(V,V)\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}(V,V_*), o(V)\mathfrak{o}(V), or sp(V)\mathfrak{sp}(V), and let gM\mathfrak{g}^M be the corresponding Mackey Lie algebra. Let MM be a finite-length gM\mathfrak{g}^M-module that is integrable as a g\mathfrak{g}-module. Let hM\mathfrak{h}^M be a subalgebra of gM\mathfrak{g}^M. Characterization conjecture. The following conditions on MM are equivalent: (a) MTgMM\in\mathbb{T}_{\mathfrak{g}^M}; (b) MM is countable-dimensional; (c) MM is a semisimple hM\mathfrak{h}^M-module for some subalgebra hMgM\mathfrak{h}^M\subset\mathfrak{g}^M; (d) MM is a semisimple hM\mathfrak{h}^M-module for any subalgebra hMgM\mathfrak{h}^M\subset\mathfrak{g}^M. The conjecture would characterize tensor modules simultaneously by dimension and semisimplicity properties; the source calls it plausible and provides no resolution.
