The dihedral Lie algebra containment conjecture for cyclotomic Galois symmetries

About 26 years old · traced to

Let NN be a positive integer, let [N]\boldsymbol{}[N] denote the group of NN-th roots of unity, let GrG∙∙(l)([N]){\rm Gr}{\cal G}_{\bullet \bullet}^{(l)}(\boldsymbol{}[N]) be the associated graded Lie algebra of the level-NN ll-adic Galois action, let D∙∙([N]){D}_{\bullet \bullet}(\boldsymbol{}[N]) be the dihedral Lie algebra, and let ξ[N]\xi_{\boldsymbol{}[N]} be the displayed embedding into the graded derivation Lie algebra. The dihedral Lie algebra containment conjecture.

GrG∙∙(l)([N])⊂ξ[N](D∙∙([N]))⊗QQl.{\rm Gr}{\cal G}_{\bullet \bullet}^{(l)}(\boldsymbol{}[N]) \subset \xi_{\boldsymbol{}[N]}({D}_{\bullet \bullet}(\boldsymbol{}[N])) \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} \mathbb{Q}_l.

This asserts that the power-shuffle and the other structural relations described in the paper constrain the Galois Lie algebra to the explicitly constructed dihedral subalgebra; only special depth quotients are proved in the paper, so the full containment remains open.
