The even-odd-drop and D-cycle correspondence conjecture

Let AA be a finite subset of Z>0\mathbb{Z}_{>0}. A D-cycle is the cycle notion used in the paper, and an even-odd drop is a drop (i,σ(i))(i,\sigma(i)) with i>σ(i)i>\sigma(i), ii even, and σ(i)\sigma(i) odd. Let ΠΓ2n\Pi_{\Gamma_{2n}} be the partition lattice object used in the paper, let μΠΓ2n\mu_{\Pi_{\Gamma_{2n}}} be its Möbius function, and let a permutation's cycle support be the partition formed by its cycles.

Even-odd-drop and D-cycle correspondence conjecture. For every finite subset AZ>0A\subset\mathbb{Z}_{>0}, the number of cycles on AA with only even-odd drops is equal to the number of D-cycles on AA. Consequently, for every n1n\geq 1: (i) if πΠΓ2n\pi\in\Pi_{\Gamma_{2n}}, then μΠΓ2n(0^,x)|\mu_{\Pi_{\Gamma_{2n}}}(\hat 0,x)| equals the number of permutations on [2n][2n] with only even-odd drops and cycle support π\pi; and (ii) for every jj, the number of permutations on [2n][2n] with jj cycles and only even-odd drops equals the number of D-permutations with jj cycles.

The source presents this statement as a conjecture and says that, together with a cited theorem, it would imply both the median Genocchi-number interpretation and the preceding Genocchi cycle-counting conjecture. The supplied text gives no resolution; the precise definitions of D-cycles, D-permutations, and ΠΓ2n\Pi_{\Gamma_{2n}} should be checked in the paper.
