The injectivity conjecture for the classical-mechanics tree representation

Let LP(A,B)L_{\mathfrak P}(A,B) be the universal Lie algebra of classical mechanics generated by AA and BB, and let T\mathcal T be the vector space spanned by the relevant classical-mechanics trees. Consider the linear map

Θ:LP(A,B)span(T).\Theta:L_{\mathfrak P}(A,B)\longrightarrow \operatorname{span}(\mathcal T).

Tree-representation injectivity conjecture. The map Θ\Theta is injective.

This is presented as an equivalent formulation of the kernel-zero conjecture. The preceding proposition establishes the analogous statement for polynomial potentials, while injectivity in the full setting remains conjectural.
