The coaction and weight conjectures for six-dimensional phi-three periods

Let Pϕ3m\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3}^{\mathfrak{m}} denote the space of motivic periods of six-dimensional ϕ3\phi^3 theory, and let Pdr\mathcal{P}^{\mathfrak{dr}} denote the de Rham period space. Write Pϕ3,nm\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3,\leq n}^{\mathfrak{m}} for the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector space of motivic ϕ3\phi^3 periods at at most nn loops, and let Δ\Delta' be the non-trivial part of the motivic Galois coaction. Coaction and weight conjecture. The following assertions hold:

  1. The number content of six-dimensional ϕ3\phi^3 periods is a subset of, and possibly equal to, the number content of four-dimensional ϕ4\phi^4 periods.
  2. The motivic Galois coaction closes on ϕ3\phi^3 periods:
Δ ⁣:Pϕ3mPdrPϕ3m.\Delta\colon\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3}^{\mathfrak{m}}\longrightarrow\mathcal{P}^{\mathfrak{dr}}\otimes\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3}^{\mathfrak{m}}.
  1. The motivic Galois coaction is consistent with the loop grading, with its non-trivial part provided by periods of lower loop order:
Δ ⁣:Pϕ3,nmPdrPϕ3,n1m.\Delta'\colon\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3,\leq n}^{\mathfrak{m}}\longrightarrow\mathcal{P}^{\mathfrak{dr}}\otimes\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3,\leq n-1}^{\mathfrak{m}}.
  1. The maximum weight in Pϕ3,nm\mathcal{P}_{\phi^3,\leq n}^{\mathfrak{m}} is 2n32n-3. These assertions organize the expected number-theoretical content, coaction structure, loop grading, and weight growth of six-dimensional ϕ3\phi^3 periods. The source reports compatibility with the conjecture, while noting that the corresponding fourth assertion is proved in ϕ4\phi^4 theory but is more obscure in ϕ3\phi^3 theory; no full resolution is given.
