Non-zero-divisor conjecture for Vogel's algebra Lambda

Let Λ\Lambda be the graded commutative algebra formed from the antisymmetric subspace of connected tri-/univalent graphs with three labeled univalent vertices, and let Λ0\Lambda_0 be the subalgebra generated by xnx_n for n1n\geq 1, with x1:=2tx_1:=2t and x2:=t2x_2:=t^2. Non-zero-divisor conjecture. The map

Λ0Λ0,λtλ\Lambda_0\longrightarrow\Lambda_0,\qquad \lambda\longmapsto t\lambda

is injective. Equivalently, tt is not a zero divisor in Λ0\Lambda_0. This assumption is used in the paper to obtain structural information about Λ0\Lambda_0, including a basis and an embedding into a subring of Z[t,u,v]{\mathbf{Z}}[t,u,v]; the source gives no resolution.
