The five-term case of Goncharov's Depth Conjecture

From papers

Let FF be the field under consideration, let kk be a positive integer, let x2,,xkF×x_2,\ldots,x_k\in F^\times, and let w0,,w4P1(F)w_0,\ldots,w_4\in\mathbb{P}^1(F). For each ii, omit wiw_i from the five-tuple and use the resulting five-term argument in the first slot of the motivic multiple polylogarithm Lik  1,,1L\operatorname{Li}^{\mathcal{L}}_{k\;1,\ldots,1}. Five-term depth conjecture. The combination

i=04(1)iLik  1,,1L([w0,,wi^,,w4],x2,,xk)\sum_{i=0}^4(-1)^i\operatorname{Li}^{\mathcal{L}}_{k\;1,\ldots,1}([w_0,\ldots,\widehat{w_i},\ldots,w_4],x_2,\ldots,x_k)

has depth at most k1k-1. This is the remaining relation needed in the source's proposed proof of injectivity for the relevant depth-graded coproduct map; its general validity is left open.
