Y. Matsumoto's 11/8-conjecture for smooth 4-manifolds

Let XX be a closed oriented smooth 44-manifold whose intersection form is equivalent to

QX=2k(E8)lH.Q_X=2k(-E_8)\oplus lH.

Matsumoto's 11/811/8-conjecture. The inequality

l3kl\ge 3|k|

should hold. This is the stated /8/8-conjecture by Y. Matsumoto; the source provides no resolution status.
