Inductive kernel conjecture for the Lie and enveloping algebras of the cactus group

About 21 years old · traced to

Let Un=U(Ln)U_n=U(L_n), where LnL_n is the quadratic Lie algebra generated by the elements μijk\mu_{ijk}. Consider the natural morphisms Un+1→UnU_{n+1}\to U_n and Ln+1→LnL_{n+1}\to L_n sending μijn\mu_{ijn} to zero and fixing μijk\mu_{ijk} for i,j,k<ni,j,k<n. Inductive kernel conjecture. The kernel of Un+1→UnU_{n+1}\to U_n is a free Un+1U_{n+1}-module, and the kernel of Ln+1→LnL_{n+1}\to L_n is a free Lie algebra with infinitely many generators. These assertions are motivated by computations of Hilbert-series and character quotients; they remain open.
