The graph-minor generation conjecture for motivic periods

Let GG be a graph of type (Q,M)(Q,M), and let kk be a weight bound. Its motivic periods are regularised versions of motivic integrals associated with GG. A graph minor of GG is obtained by graph-minor operations, and the weight of a motivic period is its weight in the relevant period algebra.

Graph-minor generation conjecture. The motivic periods of GG of weight at most kk lie in the algebra generated by regularised motivic periods of graph minors of GG having at most k+1k+1 edges.

This conjecture proposes a finiteness and product structure for the motivic periods associated with a graph. It is presented as the organising conjecture for the theory, with no resolution stated in the source.
