Three-ary factorization conjecture for generalized biadjoint amplitudes

Fix an ordered set partition (I,J,K)(I,J,K) of 1,,n{1,\ldots,n}, where

I={i,i+1,,j1},J={j,j+1,,k1},K={k,k+1,,i1}.I=\{i,i+1,\ldots,j-1\},\qquad J=\{j,j+1,\ldots,k-1\},\qquad K=\{k,k+1,\ldots,i-1\}.

Let η(I1,JK2)\eta_{(I_1,JK_2)}, η(IJ2,K1)\eta_{(IJ_2,K_1)}, and η(KI2,J1)\eta_{(KI_2,J_1)} be the three residue parameters used in the statement, and let m(3)(Ibc)m^{(3)}(Ibc), m(3)(Jac)m^{(3)}(Jac), and m(3)(Kab)m^{(3)}(Kab) denote the corresponding lower-point amplitudes.

Three-ary factorization conjecture. To leading order in these three parameters,

mn(3)=(1η(I1,J1,K1)+1η(I1,J1,K1)) ⁣ ⁣(m(3)(Ibc)m(3)(Jac)m(3)(Kab)η(IJ2,K1)η(KI2,J1)η(I1,JK2)),m^{(3)}_n=\left(\frac{1}{\eta_{(I_1,J_1,K_1)}}+\frac{1}{\eta_{(I_1,J_1,K_1)}}\right)\!\cdot\!\left(\frac{m^{(3)}(Ibc)m^{(3)}(Jac)m^{(3)}(Kab)}{\eta_{(IJ_2,K_1)}\eta_{(KI_2,J_1)}\eta_{(I_1,JK_2)}}\right),

where

η(I1,J1,K1)+η(I1,K1,J1)=η(I1,JK2)+η(IJ2,K1)+η(KI2,J1).\eta_{(I_1,J_1,K_1)}+\eta_{(I_1,K_1,J_1)}=\eta_{(I_1,JK_2)}+\eta_{(IJ_2,K_1)}+\eta_{(KI_2,J_1)}.

This is an explicit proposed factorization formula for the k=3k=3 case; the notation and the duplicated denominator term should be checked against the source.
