The orthosymplectic tensor-power conjecture for the quotient enveloping algebra

About 1 year old · traced to

Let UU be the superspace equipped with its nondegenerate quadratic element ω\omega, let EE be a vector space of dimension nn, and set

gU,E′=(U⊗E)⊕S2E.\mathfrak{g}'_{U,E}=(U\otimes E)\oplus S^2E.

The elements of S2ES^2E are central, and the bracket on U⊗EU\otimes E is defined by

[u⊗e,u′⊗e′]=ω(u,u′)ee′.[u\otimes e,u'\otimes e']=\omega(u,u')ee'.

Let I′I' be the left ideal in the enveloping algebra U(gU,E′)\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{g}'_{U,E}) generated by the naturally embedded subspace ⋀2E\bigwedge^2E, and define

ZU,E′=U(gU,E′)/I′.Z'_{U,E}=\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{g}'_{U,E})/I'.

Let C=⋀∙(U)/(ω)C=\bigwedge^\bullet(U)/(\omega). The orthosymplectic tensor-power conjecture. There is an SpO(U)\mathbf{Sp}\mathbf{O}(U)-equivariant isomorphism

ZU,E′≅C⊗n.Z'_{U,E}\cong C^{\otimes n}.

In particular,

HS(ZU,E′)=HS(C)n.\mathrm{H}\mathrm{S}(Z'_{U,E})=\mathrm{H}\mathrm{S}(C)^n.

This conjecture is the proposed analogue, for the orthosymplectic setting, of the paper's main theorem concerning good functorial properties. The source explicitly says that the authors do not know how to prove this analogue, so its resolution remains open.
