A coefficient-ratio bound for Thom-polynomial coefficients

About 16 years old · traced to

Let nn be a positive integer. Let i\mathbf{i} be a multiindex with at least one negative component and with ∑iii=n2\sum_i i_i=n^2. For multiindices a,b≥0\mathbf{a},\mathbf{b}\geq\mathbf{0} satisfying

∑iai=∑ibi,a⋅b=0,\sum_i a_i=\sum_i b_i,\qquad \mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{b}=0,

write Tpzu\mathrm{Tp}_{\mathbf{z}^{\mathbf{u}}} for the coefficient of the Laurent monomial zu\mathbf{z}^{\mathbf{u}} in the Thom generating function.

Thom-polynomial coefficient-ratio conjecture. One has

Tpz−iTpz−i+a−b<n∑ibi.\frac{\mathrm{Tp}_{\mathbf{z}^{-\mathbf{i}}}}{\mathrm{Tp}_{\mathbf{z}^{-\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{a}-\mathbf{b}}}}<n^{\sum_i b_i}.

The supplied text introduces this bound as a statement needed for an estimate and gives no resolution status beyond that context.
