The eigenvalue conjecture for Racah matrices

Let RR be a representation, and consider Racah matrices obtained from the tensor product RRRR\otimes R\otimes R. Normalize each corresponding R^\hat{\mathcal{R}}-matrix so that the product of its eigenvalues is 11, and use bases in which the R^\hat{\mathcal{R}}-matrices are diagonal. Eigenvalue conjecture. Given two equal sets of normalized eigenvalues of two R^\hat{\mathcal{R}}-matrices acting on RRRR\otimes R\otimes R, the corresponding Racah matrices are equal in their respective bases. This hypothesis asserts that the Racah matrix is determined by the normalized R^\hat{\mathcal{R}}-matrix eigenvalues; the source presents it as a generalization of the corresponding Uq(sl2)U_q(sl_2) phenomenon, while analogous higher-rank symmetries and fully general analytic formulas remain to be discovered.
