Finite-dimensionality conjecture for the module generated by closed surfaces

Let GG be a complex algebraic group, and let KMG\mathrm{K}\operatorname{M}_{G} denote the ambient module of motivic data associated with GG. Define

WG=Z(L)g(i!Q0)g=0KMG,W_G=\left\langle \mathfrak{Z}(L)^g(i_!\mathbb{Q}_0)\right\rangle_{g=0}^{\infty}\subseteq \mathrm{K}\operatorname{M}_{G},

the submodule generated by the image of the unit under all closed surfaces with connected boundary. Finite-dimensionality conjecture. The module WGKMGW_G\subseteq \mathrm{K}\operatorname{M}_{G} is finitely dimensional.

The conjecture would reduce the computations of the associated topological quantum field theory to finitely many generators, despite the possibility that the full module KMG\mathrm{K}\operatorname{M}_{G} is infinitely generated. It is motivated by known finite-generation computations for G=SL(2,C)G=\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{C}) and G=PGL(2,C)G=\operatorname{PGL}(2,\mathbb{C}), but the stated result is presented as an expectation for a general class of algebraic groups in the non-parabolic case.
