The presentation conjecture for regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety cohomology

Let b[?mμ=(n)b[0mb[?m\mu=(n)b[0m and let hh be a Hessenberg function. Write RR for the polynomial ring and JhJ_h for the ideal associated with hh, and let b[?mH(X,h)b[0mb[?m\mathfrak{H}(X,h)b[0m denote the regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety.

Presentation conjecture. The quotient

R/JhR/J_h

is a presentation for the cohomology ring of b[?mH(X,h)[0mb[?m\mathfrak{H}(X,h)[0m. Moreover, this presents the cohomology ring with integer coefficients.

This conjecture proposes an algebraic presentation of the cohomology ring of every regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety, extending the preceding correspondence between generators of R/JhR/J_h and the Betti numbers. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or remains open.
