Okounkov–Pandharipande parity conjecture for the Hilbert scheme of points on affine three-space

Fix nZ0n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}, let Hn=Hilbn(A3)\mathrm{H}_n=\operatorname{Hilb}^n(\mathbb{A}^3) be the Hilbert scheme of ideals of colength nn in C[x,y,z]\mathbb{C}[x,y,z], and let TIHnT_I\mathrm{H}_n denote the tangent space at a point IHnI\in\mathrm{H}_n. Parity conjecture. One has

(1)n=(1)dimCTIHn(-1)^n=(-1)^{\dim_{\mathbb{C}}T_I\mathrm{H}_n}

for all IHnI\in\mathrm{H}_n. This conjecture extends the parity identity known for monomial ideals and is attributed in the source to Okounkov and Pandharipande. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
