Invariant bisolution basis conjecture for de Sitter space

Let dd be the spacetime dimension, let uC u\in\mathbb{C} satisfy

d12±iν0,1,2,,\frac{d-1}{2}\pm\mathrm{i}\nu \notin\\{0,-1,-2,\dots\\},

and let G0symG_0^{\mathrm{sym}}, G0sym,AG_0^{\mathrm{sym},A}, GPJG^{\mathrm{PJ}}, and GPJ,AG^{\mathrm{PJ},A} be the invariant bisolutions defined above, where the superscript AA denotes replacement of one argument by its antipode. Invariant bisolution basis conjecture. The pair G0sym,G0sym,A\\{G_0^{\mathrm{sym}},G_0^{\mathrm{sym},A}\\} is a basis of the space of fully de Sitter invariant bisolutions, and the four functions G0sym,G0sym,A,GPJ,GPJ,A\\{G_0^{\mathrm{sym}},G_0^{\mathrm{sym},A},G^{\mathrm{PJ}},G^{\mathrm{PJ},A}\\} are a basis of the space of bisolutions invariant under the restricted de Sitter group. This would classify the invariant bisolutions relevant to the propagators considered in the paper; the supplied text presents the assertion as an expectation and gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
