Degeneracy conjecture for string, particle and membrane U-duality Eisenstein series

From papers

Let d>2d>2, let Ed+1(d+1)(Z)E_{d+1(d+1)}(\mathbb{Z}) be the U-duality group, and let Estring;3/2\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{string};3/2}, Eparticle;d/21\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{particle};d/2-1}, and Emembrane;1\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{membrane};1} denote its Eisenstein series in the indicated multiplet representations and orders. String–particle–membrane degeneracy conjecture. These series are equal up to the displayed normalization:

Vd+1lM9Estring;3/2=Γ(d/21)πd/22Eparticle;d/21=Vd+1lM9Emembrane;1.\frac{V_{d+1}}{l_M^9}\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{string};3/2}=\frac{\Gamma(d/2-1)}{\pi^{d/2-2}}\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{particle};d/2-1}=\frac{V_{d+1}}{l_M^9}\mathcal{E}_{\mathrm{membrane};1}.

The three series have the same Laplace eigenvalue, motivating the conjecture, but the source gives no proof of equality.
