The canonicality conjecture for the weight systems WnW_n

Let WnW_n be the weight system defined in the paper, let ZZ denote the Kontsevich integral, and let n\nabla_n denote the degree-nn coefficient of the multivariable Conway potential function. Canonicality conjecture. WnW_n is canonical for every nn, meaning

WnZ=n.W_n\circ Z=\nabla_n.

The case n=1n=1 is known: as pointed out by D. Bar-Natan and M. Garoufalidis, W1ZW_1\circ Z coincides with 1\nabla_1. The conjecture asserts that this compatibility holds for all nn.
