Exhaustion of coupling operators by decomposed generator products

From papers

For i{1,,n}i \in \{1,\ldots,n\}, let (Li,D(Li))(\mathcal{L}_{i},\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{L}_i)) be generators of ergodic Feller semigroups. Let AkiA_k^i, BiB^i, and J\mathcal{J} arise from decompositions of the marginal generators as in the source, and let Eˉ\bar{E} be the product state space. Exhaustion conjecture. There exist decompositions of the stated form and a set of coefficient functions

U={(αijkl)(i,j,k,l)J:EˉR}\mathcal{U} = \{(\alpha_{ijkl})_{(i,j,k,l)\in\mathcal{J}}:\bar{E}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\}

such that

G={Γ=(i,j,k,l)JαijklAkiAlj:αijklU}.\mathcal{G}=\left\{\Gamma=\sum_{(i,j,k,l)\in\mathcal{J}}\alpha_{ijkl}A_k^iA_l^j:\alpha_{ijkl}\in\mathcal{U}\right\}.

The claim would show that the proposed construction exhausts all coupling operators. The source presents it as unresolved, and whether the constructed operators belong to G0\mathcal{G}^0 depends on the coefficients.
