Jacobsson's conjecture on the lower grading of Gottlieb elements

Let XX be a formal space with bigraded Sullivan minimal model (V,d)(\land V,d), where

V=i0ViV=\bigoplus_{i\geq 0}V_i

and the differential satisfies d(V0)=0d(V_0)=0 and d(Vi)(V)i1d(V_i)\subseteq (\land V)_{i-1} for i1i\geq 1. A Gottlieb element is an element of the model corresponding to a rational Gottlieb element of XX. Jacobsson's conjecture. All Gottlieb elements are contained in

V0V1.V_0\oplus V_1.

This conjecture concerns the location of Gottlieb elements in the bigraded minimal model of a formal space. The even-degree case is proved in the paper, while the general assertion is not established here.
