Zero-momentum BRST cohomology conjecture for the bosonic ambitwistor string

Let Hn(0)\mathsf{H}^n(0) denote the absolute BRST cohomology at ghost number nn and zero momentum, regarded as a representation of SO(25,1)\operatorname{SO}(25,1), and let V\mathbb{V} be the vector representation. Zero-momentum BRST cohomology conjecture.

Hn(0){Cn=0,6C2Vn=1,52C2V0 ⁣2V ⁣2Vn=2,44C20 ⁣2V2 ⁣2Vn=3.\mathsf{H}^n(0) \cong \begin{cases} \mathbb{C} & n=0,6\\ \mathbb{C} \oplus 2 \mathbb{V} & n=1,5\\ 2 \mathbb{C} \oplus 2 \mathbb{V} \oplus \bigodot^{\!2}_0 \mathbb{V} \oplus \bigwedge^{\!2} \mathbb{V} & n=2,4\\ 4 \mathbb{C} \oplus 2 \bigodot^{\!2}_0 \mathbb{V} \oplus 2 \bigwedge^{\!2} \mathbb{V} & n=3.\end{cases}

The result follows from the computed relative cohomology together with the conjectural Poincaré duality of the absolute BRST cohomology at zero momentum; the degrees not directly determined by the calculation therefore remain conditional.
