M. Stein's dimension conjecture for linear relations among recursive-sequence Dirichlet series

From papers

Let Φ2s\Phi_{2s}, Φ2s\Phi_{2s}^{*}, Ψ2s\Psi_{2s}, and Ψ2s\Psi_{2s}^{*} be the Dirichlet series defined in the paper, and let VmV_m be the set of all (t1,,t4m)Q4m\left(t_1,\ldots,t_{4m}\right)\in\mathbb{Q}^{4m} satisfying

s=1m(t4s3Φ2s+t4s2Φ2s+t4s1Ψ2s+t4sΨ2s)=0.\sum_{s=1}^{m}\left(t_{4s-3}\Phi_{2s}+t_{4s-2}\Phi_{2s}^{*}+t_{4s-1}\Psi_{2s}+t_{4s}\Psi_{2s}^{*}\right)=0.

M. Stein's conjecture. One has dimQVm=m\dim_{\mathbb{Q}}V_m=m for every positive integer mm. Moreover, for every (t1,,t4m)Vm\left(t_1,\ldots,t_{4m}\right)\in V_m,

t4s=0for 2s,andt4s1=0for 2s.t_{4s}=0\quad\text{for }2\mid s,\qquad\text{and}\qquad t_{4s-1}=0\quad\text{for }2\nmid s.

The claim describes the dimension and the parity-dependent vanishing pattern of all rational linear relations among the indicated Dirichlet series. It is presented in the source as a conjecture attributed to M. Stein; the supplied material gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
