Finiteness conjecture for torsion-free orbit depth and orbit depth

Let γ\gamma be a loop in a typical fiber of the polynomial map under consideration. The torsion-free orbit depth kk and the orbit depth κ\kappa are the associated depths defined through the lower central sequence and its action on the relevant homology group.

Finiteness conjecture. For any γ\gamma, the torsion-free orbit depth kk and the orbit depth κ\kappa are finite.

These finiteness properties would ensure that the iterated-integral bounds for the first nonzero Melnikov function are finite. The source does not provide a proof or a counterexample, so the conjecture remains open.
