The lcm-maximal piece conjecture for coefficient periods

For a piece P\mathbb P with move set M\mathbf{M}, write

d^r:=max(cr,dr).\hat d_r:=\max(|c_r|,|d_r|).

For a positive integer λ\lambda, let Pλlcm\mathbb P^{\operatorname{lcm}}_\lambda be the lcm-maximal piece whose move set consists of all moves (c,d)(c,d) satisfying d^λ\hat d\mid\lambda. Lcm-maximal piece conjecture. Among all pieces satisfying

lcm{d^r:mrM}=λ,\operatorname{lcm}\{\hat d_r:m_r\in\mathbf{M}\}=\lambda,

Pλlcm\mathbb P^{\operatorname{lcm}}_\lambda maximizes the period of every coefficient γi\gamma_i, for fixed qq.

This conjecture is motivated by the proposed period bounds for γ3\gamma_3 and γ4\gamma_4; the paper gives no proof or general resolution.
