Koszulness and confluence conjecture for the family of associative–coassociative properads

Let EE be the S\mathbb{S}-bimodule generated by an associative product and a coassociative coproduct. For a=(a1,a2,a3,a4)C4a=(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4)\in\mathbb{C}^4, let Pa\mathcal{P}_a be the properad defined by the associative and coassociative relations together with the quadratic relation a\between_a, and let φa:ACPa\varphi_a:\mathcal{A}\boxtimes\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{P}_a be the induced morphism, where A\mathcal{A} is the properad of associative algebras and C\mathcal{C} is the properad of coassociative coalgebras.

Conjecture. For every aC4a\in\mathbb{C}^4, the following are equivalent: the properad Pa\mathcal{P}_a induces a confluent system; the morphism φa\varphi_a is a bijection in weight 33; and Pa\mathcal{P}_a is Koszul.

The conjecture proposes that confluence, the weight-three behavior of the canonical morphism, and Koszulness coincide throughout this family. The supplied text gives no resolution status beyond presenting it as a conjecture.
