Locality conjecture for irreducible representations on frameworks

Let MM be a framework, that is, a Lie manifold for so(2,3)\mathsf{so}(2,3) on which the four-dimensional irreducible representation is local. An irreducible representation VV of so(2,3)\mathsf{so}(2,3) is local on MM if there is a generalised tensor on MM whose local action is equivalent to the action on VV.

Locality conjecture. Every irreducible representation of so(2,3)\mathsf{so}(2,3) is local on a framework MM.

The conjecture asserts that no irreducible representation is excluded by the geometric locality condition on a framework. The source reports that all small-dimensional representations considered there are local, but that no general proof is given.
