The even-index lower central series product noncontainment conjecture

Let AA be an associative algebra with lower central series ideals MiM_i.

Even-index product conjecture. If i,j2i,j\geq 2 are both even, then in general

MiMjMi+j1.M_i\cdot M_j\nsubseteq M_{i+j-1}.

This contrasts with the preceding result that MiMjMi+j1M_iM_j\subset M_{i+j-1} when at least one of i,ji,j is odd and 16R\frac{1}{6}\in R; the statement asserts that the analogous containment generally fails when both indices are even.
