Positivity conjecture for refined universal curve-counting invariants

From papers

Let SS be a smooth projective surface and let LL be a δ\delta-very ample line bundle. Let N~(S,L),δ(y)\widetilde N^{(S,L),\delta}(y) be the refined universal invariant. Positivity conjecture. The Laurent polynomial N~(S,L),δ(y)\widetilde N^{(S,L),\delta}(y) has non-negative coefficients:

N~(S,L),δ(y)Z0[y±1].\widetilde N^{(S,L),\delta}(y)\in\mathbb Z_{\ge0}[y^{\pm1}].

The conjecture is proved in the cited work for abelian and K3 surfaces, and the paper records further evidence from toric computations and numerical checks.
