The exceptional Lie algebra trace-generation conjecture

Let GG be one of the exceptional Lie groups, let (V,π)(V,\pi) be respectively the 77-, 2626-, 2727-, 5656-, or 248248-dimensional representation for G2G_2, F4F_4, E6E_6, E7E_7, or E8E_8, and let T(g)GT(\mathfrak{g})^G denote the algebra of GG-invariants in the tensor algebra of the Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g}. Traces are defined using the representation (V,π)(V,\pi) as in the preceding discussion. Exceptional trace-generation conjecture. For these choices of GG and (V,π)(V,\pi), T(g)GT(\mathfrak{g})^G is generated by traces, allowing for permutation of the indices. The conjecture proposes that the trace description established for the classical groups extends to the exceptional Lie algebras; its status is not determined in the supplied source context.
