The dimension quotient conjecture for dihedral quandle rings

Let Rn\operatorname{R}_n be the dihedral quandle and let RR be a ring. For the quandle ring R[Rn]R[\operatorname{R}_n], let Δ(Rn)\Delta(\operatorname{R}_n) denote its augmentation ideal and let Δk(Rn)\Delta^k(\operatorname{R}_n) denote its kk-th power. Dimension quotient conjecture.

  1. If n>1n>1 is an odd integer, then
Δk(Rn)/Δk+1(Rn)Zn\Delta^k(\operatorname{R}_n) / \Delta^{k+1}(\operatorname{R}_n) \cong \mathbb{Z}_n

for all k1k \geq 1.

  1. If n>2n>2 is an even integer, then
Δk(Rn)/Δk+1(Rn)=n\left|\Delta^k(\operatorname{R}_n) / \Delta^{k+1}(\operatorname{R}_n)\right|=n

for all k2k \geq 2.

The preceding computations for small dihedral quandles motivate these formulas for the successive quotients of the augmentation filtration. The statement predicts uniform behavior for all odd and even values of nn, but no resolution is supplied in the given text.
