Motivic Broadhurst–Kreimer conjecture for the depth-graded multiple zeta algebra

Let d4d5d4d5 be the algebra of motivic multiple zeta values, with increasing depth filtration d49fd49f, and write grdDHN\operatorname{gr}^{\mathcal{D}}_d\mathcal{H}_N for its depth-dd, weight-NN graded piece. Define

E(t)=t21t2,O(t)=t31t2,S(t)=t12(1t4)(1t6).\mathbb{E}(t)=\frac{t^2}{1-t^2},\qquad \mathbb{O}(t)=\frac{t^3}{1-t^2},\qquad \mathbb{S}(t)=\frac{t^{12}}{(1-t^4)(1-t^6)}.

Motivic Broadhurst–Kreimer conjecture. The depth-and-weight generating series satisfies

N,d0dimQ(grdDHN)sdtN=1+E(t)s1O(t)s+S(t)s2S(t)s4.\sum_{N,d\geq 0}\dim_{\mathbb{Q}}\bigl(\operatorname{gr}^{\mathcal{D}}_d\mathcal{H}_N\bigr)s^dt^N =\frac{1+\mathbb{E}(t)s}{1-\mathbb{O}(t)s+\mathbb{S}(t)s^2-\mathbb{S}(t)s^4}.

This conjecture predicts the dimensions of all depth-graded pieces of the motivic multiple zeta algebra and was motivated by exhaustive numerical computations of Broadhurst and Kreimer. The source gives no resolution.
