The Hilbert-series conjecture for two quadratic forms in an exterior algebra

Let EE be an exterior algebra over C\mathbb C with nn generators, let f,gEf,g\in E be generic quadratic forms, and let SS be the corresponding commutative polynomial ring with generic linear forms 1,2\ell_1,\ell_2. For each ss, let a(n,s)a(n,s) count lattice paths inside the rectangle (n+22s)×(n+2)(n+2-2s)\times(n+2) from the bottom-left to the top-right corner, using only steps (x,y)(x+1,y+1)(x,y)\mapsto(x+1,y+1) and (x,y)(x1,y+1)(x,y)\mapsto(x-1,y+1). Exterior-algebra Hilbert-series conjecture. The Hilbert series of E/(f,g)E/(f,g) equals that of

S/(x12,,xn2,12,22),S/(x_1^2,\ldots,x_n^2,\ell_1^2,\ell_2^2),

and equals 1+a(n,1)t+a(n,2)t2+1+a(n,1)t+a(n,2)t^2+\cdots. This conjecture relates generic quadratic quotients of exterior algebras to power ideals; the source gives it as a concluding open conjecture.
