The Lie-algebra construction conjecture for weight systems

About 29 years old · traced to

Let g{\frak g} be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra with a metric and orthonormal basis {ga}a=1dim⁡g\{{\frak g}_a\}_{a=1}^{\dim{\frak g}}, and let RR be a finite-dimensional representation. The construction in the source assigns a weight system Wg,RW_{{\frak g},R} to diagrams using the structure constants and traces in RR. A weight system is an element of A∗{\cal A}^*. The Lie-algebra construction conjecture. All weight systems come from this construction. This is stated after the construction of Lie-algebraic weight systems, but the source supplies no proof or resolution of the universality claim.
