Symmetric weak nilpotence conjecture for the identities tn=0t_n=0

Let ti=0t_i=0 denote the corresponding identities for the symmetrized product, and let weak nilpotence of index nn have its usual meaning for that product.

Symmetric weak nilpotence conjecture. The identity t4=0t_4=0 does not imply t5=0t_5=0, and hence does not imply the index-44 weak nil property; the identities t4=t5=0t_4=t_5=0 imply the weak nil property of index 44; and, for each nn, the identities tn=tn+1==t2n3=0t_n=t_{n+1}=\cdots=t_{2n-3}=0 imply t2n2=0t_{2n-2}=0, and hence imply weak nilpotence of index nn.

The conjecture is presented as an analogue of the noncommutative case. The preceding proposition establishes related positive results, including that t3=0t_3=0 implies weak nilpotence of index 33, but the three asserted claims remain open here.
