The Picard-group generation conjecture for motives

Let kk be a field and let M(k)\mathcal{M}_\sim(k) be the category of motives over kk for an adequate equivalence relation \sim. Let Pic(M(k))\operatorname{Pic}(\mathcal{M}_\sim(k)) denote its Picard group of invertible motives, let L\mathbb{L} be the Lefschetz motive, and call an Artin motive of square 11 an Artin motive AA satisfying A21A^{\otimes 2}\simeq \mathbf{1}. Picard-group generation conjecture. For any field kk, Pic(M(k))\operatorname{Pic}(\mathcal{M}_\sim(k)) is generated by L\mathbb{L} and Artin motives of square 11. This is presented as a strengthening of the odd-weight invertible-motive conjecture and concerns the structure of the group of invertible motives; no general resolution is given.
