Local polynomial convexity conjecture for the surfaces MtM_t

Let MtM_t be the real surface under consideration, parametrized by the parameter tt. A surface is locally polynomially convex at a point if sufficiently small compact neighbourhoods of that point in the surface are polynomially convex. Local polynomial convexity conjecture. The surface MtM_t is locally polynomially convex when

1<t215338.1<t^2\leq\dfrac{15-\sqrt{33}}{8}.

This conjecture is posed in the context of determining local polynomial convexity for the family of real surfaces MtM_t with isolated singularities; its resolution would clarify the transition between local polynomial convexity and the presence of analytic discs near the singularity.
