The contraction conjecture for the weight-two abelianization of symplectic derivations

Let HnH_n be the underlying symplectic vector space, let T(Hn)T(H_n) be its tensor algebra, and let Der+(T(Hn))\mathrm{Der}^+(T(H_n)) denote the positively graded derivations of T(Hn)T(H_n). Write H1(Der+(T(Hn)))2H_1(\mathrm{Der}^+(T(H_n)))_2 for the weight-two summand of its abelianization, and consider the contraction

C13 ⁣:Der(T(Hn))(2)Hn2.C_{13}\colon \mathrm{Der}(T(H_n))(2)\longrightarrow H_n^{\otimes 2}.

Contraction conjecture. The contraction C13C_{13} induces an isomorphism

H1(Der+(T(Hn)))2Hn2.H_1(\mathrm{Der}^+(T(H_n)))_2\cong H_n^{\otimes 2}.

The preceding proposition establishes only that C13C_{13} induces a surjection from the weight-two abelianization onto Hn2H_n^{\otimes 2}; the asserted injectivity, and hence the isomorphism, is the conjectural part. This describes the full weight-two contribution to the abelianization of the Lie algebra of positive derivations.
