Coefficient polynomiality threshold conjecture for refined Severi degrees

Fix δ1\delta\ge1, and write the refined plane Severi degree as

Nd,δ(y)=pd,0δyδ+pd,1δyδ1++pd,δδy0++pd,0δyδ.N^{d,\delta}(y)=p^\delta_{d,0}y^\delta+p^\delta_{d,1}y^{\delta-1}+\cdots+p^\delta_{d,\delta}y^0+\cdots+p^\delta_{d,0}y^{-\delta}.

Let Nδ(d;y)N_\delta(d;y) be the refined node polynomial, with coefficients piδ(d)p^\delta_i(d) defined analogously. Coefficient polynomiality threshold conjecture. For 0iδ0\le i\le\delta, one has

piδ(d)=pd,iδp^\delta_i(d)=p^\delta_{d,i}

whenever di+2d\ge i+2. Thus the iith coefficient stabilizes at a degree bound independent of the total number of nodes δ\delta. The paper notes that this is part of a conjecture of Göttsche–Shende.
