The wheeling conjecture for Chinese-character diagram products
The wheeling conjecture for Chinese-character diagram products
Let be the completed graded space of Chinese characters, equipped with the disjoint-union product and a second product transported from the diagram algebra via the isomorphism . Let be the wheels series and let be the wheeling operator obtained by gluing all legs of the Chinese characters occurring in to legs of an input diagram. Denote the two products by and , respectively.
Wheeling conjecture. Wheeling intertwines the two products on Chinese characters; more precisely,
is an algebra isomorphism.
The conjecture is presented as a diagrammatic analogue of the Duflo isomorphism and is attributed in the source to an independent conjecture of Deligne. The supplied text does not establish whether it has been resolved.
