Conjectural period-polynomial relations for double T- and double tilde-T-values

For N=2N=2 or 44, even integers k4k\ge4, and integers jj with 1j(k2)/21\le j\le (k-2)/2, define coefficients aia_i and bib_i by

PN,k,j(+)(X+1)=i=0k2ai(k2i)Xi,P_{N,k,j}^{(+)}(X+1)=\sum_{i=0}^{k-2}a_i\binom{k-2}{i}X^i,

and

PN,k,j()(X+1)=i=0k3bi(k2i)Xi.P_{N,k,j}^{(-)}(X+1)=\sum_{i=0}^{k-3}b_i\binom{k-2}{i}X^i.

Here PN,k,j(+)P_{N,k,j}^{(+)} and PN,k,j()P_{N,k,j}^{(-)} are the even and odd parts of the polynomial PN,k,jP_{N,k,j} defined from S~N,k,j\widetilde S_{N,k,j}, and T(r,s)T(r,s) and T~(r,s)\widetilde{T}(r,s) denote the corresponding double TT-values and double T~\widetilde{T}-values. Conjectural period-polynomial relations. The coefficients satisfy

i=0k2aiT~(i+1,ki1)=0\sum_{i=0}^{k-2}a_i\,\widetilde{T}(i+1,k-i-1)=0

and

i=0k3biT(i+1,ki1)=0.\sum_{i=0}^{k-3}b_i\,T(i+1,k-i-1)=0.

Moreover, the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector space V4,kV_{4,k} spanned by P4,k,j(+)(X)P_{4,k,j}^{(+)}(X) has dimension [(k2)/4]\left[(k-2)/4\right], the polynomials P2,k,j(+)(X)P_{2,k,j}^{(+)}(X) lie in V4,kV_{4,k} and span a subspace of dimension [(k2)/6]\left[(k-2)/6\right], and the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector spaces spanned by P4,k,j()(X)P_{4,k,j}^{(-)}(X) and P2,k,j()(X)P_{2,k,j}^{(-)}(X) coincide. The conjectural dimension of this common space WkW_k is [k/4]1\left[k/4\right]-1, and the conjectural number of independent relations among double TT-values is k/22k/2-2.
