Divisibility conjecture for twisted characteristic numbers of the Hopkins–Mahowald manifold

About 5 years old · traced to

Let M1M_1 be the 2424-dimensional String manifold of Hopkins–Mahowald. For non-negative integers ii, jj, and kk, let Ti⊗∧j⊗SkT^i\otimes\wedge^j\otimes S^k denote the corresponding tensor product of the tangent-bundle, exterior-power, and symmetric-power constructions. Divisibility conjecture. For any non-negative integers ii, jj, and kk,

24∣A^(M1,Ti⊗∧j⊗Sk),24\mid \widehat{A}(M_1,T^i\otimes\wedge^j\otimes S^k),

and

24∣Sig⁡(M1,Ti⊗∧j⊗Sk).24\mid \operatorname{Sig}(M_1,T^i\otimes\wedge^j\otimes S^k).

The claim extends the computer verification reported in the source for i+j+k≤5i+j+k\leq 5 and predicts universal divisibility by 2424 for these twisted [?][?]-genus and signature quantities. Its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
