Kanade–Russell's ideal-membership conjecture for cylindric recurrences

At least 2 years old · documented by

Fix m=3k+{−1,0,1}m=3k+\{-1,0,1\} with k≥3k\geq3. Let Sm\mathcal S_m be the set of relations obtained by writing the coupled qq-difference equations for the profiles cc with ∣c∣+3=m|c|+3=m in terms of the functions Sm(ρ∣σ)S_m(\rho\mid\sigma). Let ImI_m be the ideal generated by the left-hand sides of the recurrence relations R1(i)(ρ∣σ)R_1^{(i)}(\rho\mid\sigma), R2(i)(ρ∣σ)R_2^{(i)}(\rho\mid\sigma), R3(ρ∣σ)R_3(\rho\mid\sigma), and R4(ρ∣σ)R_4(\rho\mid\sigma), with the applicable R3,R4R_3,R_4 determined by mm modulo 33. Kanade–Russell's ideal-membership conjecture. For every h∈Smh\in\mathcal S_m, one has

h∈Im.h\in I_m.

This is presented as an equivalent reformulation of the recurrence-generation conjecture. The paper notes that the ideal has infinitely many nominal generators but that only finitely many SmS_m functions occur for each fixed mm; the resulting problem remains open in general.
