Maximal dimension conjecture for Kummer spaces in tensor products of cyclic algebras

From papers

Let dd be a positive integer, let FF be an infinite field of characteristic 00 containing a primitive ddth root of unity, and let

A=k=1n(αk,βk)d,FA=\bigotimes_{k=1}^n \left(\alpha_k,\beta_k\right)_{d,F}

be a division algebra, where each factor is a cyclic algebra of degree dd. An FF-vector subspace of AA is called a Kummer space if every element vv in it satisfies vdFv^d\in F. Maximal dimension conjecture. The maximal dimension of a Kummer space in AA is nd+1nd+1. The conjecture would determine the largest Kummer spaces available for applications to symbol-length bounds. The paper's abstract proves the corresponding value 4n+14n+1 for the generic tensor product of nn cyclic algebras of degree 44, but the stated claim for an arbitrary division algebra and positive integer dd is not resolved here.
