The five-term case of Goncharov's Depth Conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let FF be the field under consideration, let kk be a positive integer, let x2,…,xk∈F×x_2,\ldots,x_k\in F^\times, and let w0,…,w4∈P1(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 Li⁡k  1,…,1L\operatorname{Li}^{\mathcal{L}}_{k\;1,\ldots,1}. Five-term depth conjecture. The combination

∑i=04(−1)iLi⁡k  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 k−1k-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.
