Stronger minimal-generator conjecture when the first format parameter is one

Assume that r1=1r_1=1. Let W(μ)W(\mu) be the representations associated with the weight parameters α\alpha, β\beta, γ\gamma, aa, bb, and cc for the generic ring R^gen\hat R_{\mathrm{gen}}.

Stronger minimal-generator conjecture. The ring R^gen\hat R_{\mathrm{gen}} is generated by the four representations W(μ)W(\mu) corresponding to

α=(1),β=γ=a=b=c=0;\alpha=(1),\quad \beta=\gamma=a=b=c=0; a=1,α=β=γ=b=c=0;a=1,\quad \alpha=\beta=\gamma=b=c=0; β=(1),α=γ=a=b=c=0;\beta=(1),\quad \alpha=\gamma=a=b=c=0; b=1,α=β=γ=a=c=0;b=1,\quad \alpha=\beta=\gamma=a=c=0; c=1,α=β=γ=a=b=0.c=1,\quad \alpha=\beta=\gamma=a=b=0.

Moreover, the first representation is redundant if r3=1r_3=1, and the second is redundant if r3>1r_3>1.

This is a stronger expectation than the six-generator conjecture. The source notes that the last representation is the variable a1a_1, so its contribution is completely understood, but gives no general proof of the asserted generation statement.
