Damiani's PBW-basis conjecture for the qq-Onsager algebra

About 5 years old · traced to

Let OqO_q be the qq-Onsager algebra, with alternating generators {W−i}i∈N\{W_{-i}\}_{i\in\mathbb N}, {G~j+1}j∈N\{\tilde G_{j+1}\}_{j\in\mathbb N}, and {Wk+1}k∈N\{W_{k+1}\}_{k\in\mathbb N}. A linear order << on these generators is said to satisfy one of the six prescribed orderings:

W−i<G~j+1<Wk+1,Wk+1<G~j+1<W−i,Wk+1<W−i<G~j+1,W_{-i}<\tilde G_{j+1}<W_{k+1},\quad W_{k+1}<\tilde G_{j+1}<W_{-i},\quad W_{k+1}<W_{-i}<\tilde G_{j+1}, W−i<Wk+1<G~j+1,G~j+1<Wk+1<W−i,G~j+1<W−i<Wk+1,W_{-i}<W_{k+1}<\tilde G_{j+1},\quad \tilde G_{j+1}<W_{k+1}<W_{-i},\quad \tilde G_{j+1}<W_{-i}<W_{k+1},

for all i,j,k∈Ni,j,k\in\mathbb N. Damiani's PBW-basis conjecture. For any such linear order, the ordered monomials in these alternating generators form a PBW basis for OqO_q. This would provide a PBW-type description of the qq-Onsager algebra compatible with all six block orderings; the source presents it as a variation on an earlier conjecture and does not give evidence of a resolution.
