Bérczi's polynomial quotient conjecture for Thom-polynomial coefficients

About 13 years old · traced to

Let the Thom generating function be

Tpk(z1,…,zk)=∏m<l(zm−zl) Qk(z1…zk)∏m+r≤l≤k(zm+zr−zl).\mathrm{Tp}_k(z_1,\ldots,z_k)=\frac{\prod_{m<l}(z_m-z_l)\,Q_k(z_1\ldots z_k)}{\prod_{m+r\le l\le k}(z_m+z_r-z_l)}.

For coefficient multi-indices i1,…,iki_1,\ldots,i_k, consider neighbouring coefficients obtained by increasing ili_l by one and decreasing imi_m by one.

Bérczi's neighbouring-coefficient conjecture. The quotient

The conjecture is motivated by background and experimental evidence cited by the source. No proof or disproof is given there.
