The tensor-product decomposition conjecture for the current algebra

Let Aq\mathcal A_q be the current algebra, let Oq\mathcal O_q be the q-Onsager algebra with generators A,BA,B, let {g~k+1}kNJ\{\tilde g_{k+1}\}_{k\in\mathbb N}\subseteq\mathcal J be the sequence from the lower-generator uniqueness conjecture, and let λ1,λ2,\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots be commuting indeterminates. Tensor-product decomposition conjecture. There exists an algebra isomorphism

:AqOqF[λ1,λ2,]\sharp:\mathcal A_q\to\mathcal O_q\otimes\mathbb F[\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots]

that sends W0A1\mathcal W_0\mapsto A\otimes1, W1B1\mathcal W_1\mapsto B\otimes1, and

G~1g~1+λ1,\tilde G_1\mapsto\tilde g_1+\lambda_1,

with the subsequent images specified by the displayed formulas for G~2\tilde G_2, G~3\tilde G_3, and G~4\tilde G_4 in the source.

This conjecture depends on the preceding uniqueness conjecture and would decompose the current algebra into the q-Onsager algebra and a polynomial algebra. Its resolution is not supplied.
