Generation conjecture for invariant operators on symmetric tensor densities

Let RδR_{\delta} be the space of symmetric tensor densities of weight δ\delta, decomposed into homogeneous components RδkR^k_{\delta}, and let XX and i(α)i(\alpha) denote the invariant operators acting on these spaces. The spaces RδkR^k_{\delta} have projectors onto them.

Generation conjecture. The algebra of all invariant operators for the sp(2n+2)sp(2n+2) action on RδR_{\delta} is generated by the operators XX, i(α)i(\alpha) and the projectors onto the spaces RδkR^k_{\delta}.

This conjecture gives the expected sl(2,R)sl(2,\mathbb{R})-module description of the invariant operators and underlies the proposed construction of projectors onto Rδk\capkeri(α)i(α)R^k_{\delta}\capker\,i(\alpha) i(\alpha). The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
