Künneth subcomplex splitting conjecture for Yang–Baxter chain complexes

Fix a decomposition of the alphabet X(m)=ABX_{(m)}=A\cup B and let C(m,A,B)C_\bullet^{(m,A,B)} be the subchain complex generated by words that begin with letters from AA and end with letters from BB. Assume the ordering condition ABA\geq B. Künneth splitting conjecture. The short exact sequence

0C(m,A,B)CmCnm/C(m,A,B)00\to C_\bullet^{(m,A,B)}\to C_\bullet^m\to C_n^m/C_\bullet^{(m,A,B)}\to0

splits, and consequently Hn(Cm)H_n(C_\bullet^m) splits. This conjecture is motivated by the identification of the subcomplex with a tensor product of smaller chain complexes and by computational evidence; the source gives no proof or resolution.
