Joint generalized-Fibonacci form of pre-moments

From papers

Let Xd,nX_{d,n} be the size of a uniformly random (n,dn1)(n,dn-1)-core partition with distinct parts. For a natural number kk, let mk(d,n)m_k(d,n) denote its kkth pre-moment, and let Nd(n)N_d(n) denote the generalized Fibonacci sequence used in the source.

Joint pre-moment conjecture. The kkth pre-moment mk(d,n)m_k(d,n) of Xd,nX_{d,n} is of the form

A(n,d)Nd(n)+B(n,d)Nd(n+1),A(n,d)N_d(n)+B(n,d)N_d(n+1),

where AA and BB are degree 2k2k polynomials in nn whose coefficients are rational functions in dd.

This gives a single ansatz for the pre-moments when both parameters vary, extending the fixed-dd form. The source reports computational evidence and explicitly notes the computational cost, but gives no proof or resolution.
