Weimar–Woods conjecture on isomorphism and normalization of graded contractions

Let GG be a grading group and let 1ˉS\bar{1}_S denote the generic graded contraction with support SS. For graded contractions ε\varepsilon and ε\varepsilon' of a GG-graded Lie algebra, write εε\varepsilon\simeq\varepsilon' when they are isomorphic and εnε\varepsilon\sim_{\rm n}\varepsilon' when they are equivalent via normalization.

Weimar–Woods conjecture. Two graded contractions ε\varepsilon and ε\varepsilon' are isomorphic if and only if they are equivalent via normalization:

εεεnε.\varepsilon\simeq\varepsilon' \Longleftrightarrow \varepsilon\sim_{\rm n}\varepsilon'.

The conjecture asserts that the two notions of equivalence arising from isomorphism in the category of GG-graded vector spaces coincide. The source gives no evidence of a resolution.
