Conjecture on the monodromy matrix around the critical point

About 14 years old · traced to

Let zcz_c be the critical value, and let αc\alpha_c, τc\tau_c, and dd denote the quantities appearing in the conjectured monodromy matrix. The monodromy matrix acts in the indicated five-dimensional basis.

Monodromy-matrix conjecture. The monodromy matrix around z=zcz=z_c is

1τc2(αc20−αc(τc2−αc2)/8(τc2−αc2)d−(τc2−αc2)2/128−32dτc2−8αcd32d2−(τc2−αc2)d−8αc0τc2−2αc28αcd−αc(τc2−αc2)/8000τc20−320−8αc32dαc2).\frac{1}{\tau_c^2} \begin{pmatrix} \alpha_c^2 & 0 & -\alpha_c(\tau_c^2-\alpha_c^2)/8 & (\tau_c^2-\alpha_c^2)d & -(\tau_c^2-\alpha_c^2)^2/128 \\ -32d & \tau_c^2 & -8\alpha_c d & 32d^2 & -(\tau_c^2-\alpha_c^2)d \\ -8\alpha_c & 0 & \tau_c^2-2\alpha_c^2 & 8\alpha_c d & -\alpha_c(\tau_c^2-\alpha_c^2)/8 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \tau_c^2 & 0 \\ -32 & 0 & -8\alpha_c & 32d & \alpha_c^2 \end{pmatrix}.

The formula agrees with six examples from the cited table, which supports the conjecture, but the supplied text gives no proof or general resolution.
