Conjecture that constants equal the algebra U^(1) in the free Lie algebra of rank 2

About 1 year old · traced to

Let LL be the free Lie algebra of rank 22, let δ\delta be the derivation under consideration, and let LδL^\delta denote the algebra of constants of δ\delta:

Lδ={u∈L∣δ(u)=0}.L^\delta=\{u\in L\mid \delta(u)=0\}.

Let U(1)U^{(1)} be the algebra constructed in the preceding discussion.

Constants-equality conjecture. The algebra of constants is exactly U(1)U^{(1)}:

Lδ=U(1).L^\delta=U^{(1)}.

The claim is presented as a stronger conjecture supported by the results of the section; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
