Göttsche–Shende refined Severi degree conjecture

From papers

For a projective surface SS and line bundle LL, let N(S,L),δ(y)N^{(S,L),\delta}(y) denote the refined Severi degree and let N~(S,L),δ(y)\widetilde N^{(S,L),\delta}(y) denote the refined universal invariant. Göttsche–Shende's refined Severi degree conjecture. If SS is P2\mathbb P^2 or a rational ruled surface, and PδL\mathbb P^\delta\subset |L| contains no non-reduced curves and no curves containing components with negative self-intersection, then

N(S,L),δ(y)=N~(S,L),δ(y).N^{(S,L),\delta}(y)=\widetilde N^{(S,L),\delta}(y).

The source gives explicit bounds for P2\mathbb P^2, P1×P1\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1, and Σm\Sigma_m, but the displayed Σm\Sigma_m formula contains a typographical error. The conjecture is supported by computations and is proved in the paper for the stated low-node ranges.
