Polynomiality conjecture for the leading coefficients of node polynomials

Let Cτ(δ)C_\tau(\delta) denote the coefficient vector associated with a type τ\tau in the computation of the node polynomial Nδ(d)N_\delta(d). Leading-coefficient polynomiality conjecture. Every entry of Cτ(δ)C_\tau(\delta) is of the form

3δδ!P(δ),\frac{3^\delta}{\delta!}P(\delta),

where P(δ)P(\delta) is a polynomial in δ\delta. This conjectural structure is reported as verified for all types with def(τ)8\operatorname{def}(\tau)\le8, so the supplied text does not establish the assertion for all types.
