Conjecture on Hall-monomial constants in the free Lie algebra of rank 2

About 1 year old · traced to

Let LL be the free Lie algebra of rank 22, with derivation δ\delta, and let U(1)U^{(1)} be the Lie subalgebra specified in the surrounding construction. A Hall monomial is a Hall-basis monomial of LL, and a constant under δ\delta is an element annihilated by δ\delta.

Hall-monomial constants conjecture. If MM is a Hall monomial that is a constant under the derivation δ\delta, then

M∈U(1).M\in U^{(1)}.

The conjecture is motivated by computations showing that constants of degree at most 77 belong to the relevant Lie subalgebra, but no resolution is supplied in the source.
