Conjecture on vanishing numerator values for trace algebras

Let Cn,2C_{n,2} and Tn,2T_{n,2} be the trace algebras with numerator polynomials N(Cn,2;s,t)N(C_{n,2};s,t) and N(Tn,2;s,t)N(T_{n,2};s,t) in their bigraded Poincaré series.

Vanishing-numerator conjecture. For n5n\ge5,

N(Cn,2;1,1)=N(Tn,2;1,1)=0.N(C_{n,2};1,1)=N(T_{n,2};1,1)=0.

The paper states that this conjecture is true for n6n\le6 and notes that it would imply that Cn,2C_{n,2} has no bigraded system of parameters for n5n\ge5. Its validity for general nn remains open in the supplied source.
