The sl2-algebra conjecture for multiple Eisenstein series

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let E\mathcal{E} be the Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra generated by multiple Eisenstein series Gk1,…,kr(τ)G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r}(\tau) with ki≥2k_i\geq2. Define maps on these generators by

W′(Gk1,…,kr)=(k1+⋯+kr)Gk1,…,kr,W'(G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r})=(k_1+\cdots+k_r)G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r}, D′(Gk1,…,kr)=2πiddτGk1,…,kr,D'(G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r})=2\pi i\frac{d}{d\tau}G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r},

and

δ′(Gk1,…,kr)={−12Gk2,…,kr,k1=2,0,k1>2.\delta'(G_{k_1,\ldots,k_r})= \begin{cases} -\frac12G_{k_2,\ldots,k_r},&k_1=2,\\ 0,&k_1>2. \end{cases}

The sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-algebra conjecture for multiple Eisenstein series. These maps should be well-defined Q\mathbb{Q}-linear maps on E\mathcal{E}, should be derivations, and should form an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triple:

[W′,D′]=2D′,[W′,δ′]=−2δ′,[δ′,D′]=W′.[W',D']=2D',\qquad[W',\delta']=-2\delta',\qquad[\delta',D']=W'.

Thus E\mathcal{E} should be an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-algebra. This conjecture generalizes the known sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-structure on the algebra of quasi-modular forms. Its validity for the full algebra of multiple Eisenstein series remains open.
