Hertling's conjecture on TERP structures and eigenvalues of \mathcal{Q}

From papers

Let MM be the base space of a semiuniversal unfolding FF of a singularity, equipped with a \emph{TERP}(n+1)-structure, and let E\mathcal{E} denote the Euler vector field. Let RR be the set where the \emph{TERP}(n+1)-structure is not a tr\emph{TERP}(n+1)-structure, and define

Exp(Fp):=xSing(Fp)Exp(Fp,x).\operatorname{Exp}(F_p):=\bigcup_{x\in\operatorname{Sing}(F_p)}\operatorname{Exp}(F_p,x).

Hertling's conjecture. For any pMp\in M, the set RR does not contain the E+E\mathcal{E}+\overline{\mathcal{E}} orbit of pp. Far enough along the flow of E+E\mathcal{E}+\overline{\mathcal{E}}, one no longer meets RR, the Hermitian metric hh is positive definite, and the eigenvalues of Q\mathcal{Q} tend to

Exp(Fp)n+12.\operatorname{Exp}(F_p)-\frac{n+1}{2}.

This conjecture concerns the asymptotic behavior of TERP structures along the Euler flow and predicts eventual positivity of the Hermitian metric together with a precise limiting spectrum for Q\mathcal{Q}. The source gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
