Box-kernel conjecture for qMZV box products

From papers

For positive integers z,dz,d, let Kz,d\mathcal{K}_{z,d} be the explicitly defined subspace of the domain of the box map Boxz,d\operatorname{Box}_{z,d} generated by the stuffle–box-product differences appearing in the source. Box-kernel conjecture. If zdz\leq d, then

spanQKz,d=kerBoxz,d.\operatorname{span}_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathcal{K}_{z,d}=\operatorname{ker}\operatorname{Box}_{z,d}.

The inclusion from left to right is proved, while the converse is supported by numerical calculations and remains open in general.
