Higher-degree Hamiltonian conjecture for affine Gaudin models

Let E+E_+ be the set of positive exponents of the underlying Lie algebra, let φ(z)\varphi(z) be the twist function, and let hh^\vee be the dual Coxeter number. The quadratic Hamiltonian is denoted by H(z)\mathscr{H}(z). Higher-degree Hamiltonian conjecture. For every positive exponent dE+d\in E_+ with d>1d>1, there exist operators Sd(z)S^d(z) of degree d+1d+1 such that, for p,qE+{1}p,q\in E_+\setminus\{1\},

[Sp(z),Sq(w)]=(hzpφ(z))Apq(z,w)+(hwqφ(w))Bpq(z,w),[ S^p(z), S^q(w) ] = (h^\vee\partial_z-p\varphi(z))A_{pq}(z,w)+(h^\vee\partial_w-q\varphi(w))B_{pq}(z,w),

and, for pE+{1}p\in E_+\setminus\{1\},

[Sp(z),H(w)]=(hzpφ(z))Ap1(z,w),[ S^p(z),\mathscr{H}(w) ]=(h^\vee\partial_z-p\varphi(z))A_{p1}(z,w),

for suitable operators Apq(z,w)A_{pq}(z,w), Bpq(z,w)B_{pq}(z,w) and Ap1(z,w)A_{p1}(z,w). These relations would produce commuting higher-degree quantum Hamiltonians after integration against the appropriate twist-function factors; their general existence is conjectural.
