The weakest dimension conjecture for free Jordan algebras

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, let J(D)J(D) be the free Jordan algebra on DD generators, and write J(D)=n1Jn(D)J(D)=\bigoplus_{n\geq 1}J_n(D). Set an=dimJn(D)a_n=\dim J_n(D) and let ψ=Dzt1+(1Dz)t\psi=Dzt^{-1}+(1-Dz)-t.

The weakest dimension conjecture. The sequence (an)n1(a_n)_{n\geq 1} is the unique solution of

Rest=0ψn=1(1zn(t+t1)+z2n)andt=0.\operatorname{Res}_{t=0}\,\psi\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-z^n(t+t^{-1})+z^{2n}\right)^{a_n}\,dt=0.

The equation gives a recurrence determining the predicted dimensions, and computer calculations support it in several cases, including the dimension three space of special identities for D=3D=3 and n=8n=8. A closed formula is not known.
