Morita's basis conjecture for the symplectic second cohomology of the derivation Lie algebra

From papers

Let hg,1Q\mathfrak h_{g,1}^{\mathbb Q} be the graded Lie algebra under consideration, and let Sp\operatorname{Sp} act on it through the symplectic action on HQH_{\mathbb Q}. Define e1,t3,t5,H2(hg,1Q)Spe_1,t_3,t_5,\ldots\in H^2(\mathfrak h_{g,1}^{\mathbb Q})^{\operatorname{Sp}} by the higher intersection pairings and the trace maps described in the preceding definition. Morita's conjecture. The classes e1,t3,t5,e_1,t_3,t_5,\ldots are all non-trivial, are linearly independent, and form a basis of

H2(hg,1Q)Sp.H^2(\mathfrak h_{g,1}^{\mathbb Q})^{\operatorname{Sp}}.

The claim is proposed as the expected description of the symplectic-invariant second cohomology and remains open.
