Conjecture on the intersection Betti numbers of moduli spaces of sheaves on the plane

Let M(0,d,χ)M_{(0,d,\chi)} be the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves on P2\mathbb P^2 with Chern character (0,d,χ)(0,d,\chi), and write its intersection Betti numbers as Ibj(Md,χ)Ib_j(M_{d,\chi}). For fixed d1d\geq 1, the values of χ\chi index moduli spaces that need not be isomorphic, although tensoring by O(1)\mathcal O(1) and Serre duality identify some of them. Intersection-Betti-number conjecture. For every fixed d1d\geq 1, the intersection Betti numbers Ibj(Md,χ)Ib_j(M_{d,\chi}) do not depend on χ\chi. This predicts an invariant of the moduli spaces that is finer than their isomorphism type; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
