Fredkin-chain conjecture on the anti-adjoint representation of the raising and lowering operators

Consider the periodic Fredkin chain with NN sites, total-spin operators S±\mathrm{S}^\pm, and the raising and lowering operators Σ±\Sigma^\pm. Define the anti-adjoint action by

(aada)b{a,b}=ab+ba.(\operatorname*{\mathrm{aad}} a)\, b \equiv \{a,b\}=ab+ba.

Anti-adjoint representation conjecture. There exist coefficients γk\gamma_k such that

Σ±=k=1N/2γk(aadS±aadS)k1S±.\Sigma^\pm =\sum_{k=1}^{\lceil N/2\rceil } \gamma_k \left(\operatorname*{\mathrm{aad}} \mathrm{S}^\pm \operatorname*{\mathrm{aad}} \mathrm{S}^\mp\right)^{k-1} \mathrm{S}^\pm.

The claim gives a representation of the nonlocal operators Σ±\Sigma^\pm in terms of the non-diagonal components of the total spin operator. It was inferred from finite-size calculations and is one of the paper's conjectural descriptions of the Fredkin-chain symmetry operators.
