Mod-16 conjecture for the torus Furuta–Ohta invariant

Let XX be an integral homology S1×S3S^1 \times S^3 containing an essentially embedded torus T\mathcal{T}, let Y0Y_0 be the cross-section obtained by the associated 00-surgery, and suppose there is an oriented 44-manifold MM with M=Y0\partial M=Y_0 such that the representation φ2α\varphi_{2\alpha} extends over π1(M)\pi_1(M). Let σφ2α(M)\sigma_{\varphi_{2\alpha}}(M) be the twisted signature and let α(0,1/2)\alpha\in(0,1/2) be a non-degenerate holonomy parameter. Mod-16 conjecture.

λFO(X,T,α)+σφ2α(M)=0mod16.\lambda_{FO}(X,\mathcal{T},\alpha)+\sigma_{\varphi_{2\alpha}}(M)=0\mod 16.

This conjecture is motivated by Furuta–Ohta's mod-2 conjecture and the preceding relation with the signature invariant; the supplied text gives no resolution.
