Purity conjecture for refined Gopakumar–Vafa invariants of flopping curves

Let CC be a flopping curve, let rr be a positive integer, and let GVC,r,0\operatorname{GV}_{C,r,0} be the associated monodromic mixed Hodge structure. Write nC,r(q1/2)n_{C,r}(q^{1/2}) for its refined numerical invariant and nC,rn_{C,r} for its numerical dimension. Purity conjecture. The mixed Hodge structure GVC,r,0\operatorname{GV}_{C,r,0} is pure for every flopping curve CC and every rr; equivalently,

nC,r(q1/2)=nC,rn_{C,r}(q^{1/2})=n_{C,r}

for all CC and rr. The conjecture asks whether the refined invariants contain information beyond the numerical Gopakumar–Vafa invariants; the paper states that it is open even for r=1r=1.
