Same-singularity-type conjecture for similarly shaped partitions

Let λ1\lambda_1 and λ2\lambda_2 be rr-dimensional partitions of lengths l1l_1 and l2l_2, respectively. Suppose that they have similar shapes and

ex.dimIλ1Hilbl1(Ar)=ex.dimIλ2Hilbl2(Ar).\operatorname{ex.dim}_{I_{\lambda_1}}\operatorname{Hilb}^{l_1}(\mathbb{A}^r)=\operatorname{ex.dim}_{I_{\lambda_2}}\operatorname{Hilb}^{l_2}(\mathbb{A}^r).

Same-singularity-type conjecture. Then the germs

Hilbl1(A3)ZIλ1andHilbl2(A3)ZIλ2\operatorname{Hilb}^{l_1}(\mathbb{A}^3)_{Z_{I_{\lambda_1}}} \quad\text{and}\quad \operatorname{Hilb}^{l_2}(\mathbb{A}^3)_{Z_{I_{\lambda_2}}}

are singularities of the same type.

This generalizes the observed agreement between local models for similarly shaped partitions. The statement is based on examples and computations in the paper and remains open.
