Cyclic-word presentation conjecture for the free associative Lie algebra

Let AnA_n be the free associative algebra on generators x1,,xnx_1,\dots,x_n, regarded as a Lie algebra with bracket [a,b]=abba[a,b]=a\cdot b-b\cdot a. For a monomial a=xi1xia=x_{i_1}\cdots x_{i_\ell}, let

a~=xi1xi+xi2xixi1++xixi1xi1\widetilde a=x_{i_1}\cdots x_{i_\ell}+x_{i_2}\cdots x_{i_\ell}x_{i_1}+\cdots+x_{i_\ell}x_{i_1}\cdots x_{i_{\ell-1}}

be its cyclic sum, and let R(a,b,c)R(a,b,c) be the cyclic relation obtained in the source from the associative identity [a,bc]+[b,ca]+[c,ab]=0[a,b\cdot c]+[b,c\cdot a]+[c,a\cdot b]=0. Cyclic-word presentation conjecture. The Lie algebra AnA_n is generated by the cyclic words a~\widetilde a for monomials aAna\in A_n, with relations R(a,b,c)R(a,b,c) for every triple of monomials a,b,cAna,b,c\in A_n.
