Homology decomposition conjecture for the two-term Yang–Baxter complex

Let k=Q[y,y1]k=\mathbb{Q}[y,y^{-1}], let V=k{v1,v2}V=k\{v_1,v_2\}, and let HnH_n denote the nn-th homology group of the two-term Yang–Baxter chain complex associated with the displayed unital Yang–Baxter operator for m=2m=2. Define sn=i=1n+1fis_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}f_i, where f1=f2=1f_1=f_2=1 and (fi)(f_i) is the Fibonacci sequence, and define ana_n recursively by

2n=2+an1+sn2+an+sn1,a1=0.2^n=2+a_{n-1}+s_{n-2}+a_n+s_{n-1},\qquad a_1=0.

Homology decomposition conjecture. For every nn,

Hnk2(k/(1y2))an(k/(1y4))sn2.H_n\cong k^2\oplus\left(k/(1-y^2)\right)^{a_n}\oplus\left(k/(1-y^4)\right)^{s_{n-2}}.

The formula was verified in the source for n10n\leq 10 and predicts the structure of the two-term Yang–Baxter homology in this family beyond the checked range.
