The parabolic Hilb-vs-Quot conjecture

Assume R=C[[x]][y]/(f)R=\mathbb{C}[[x]][y]/(f) defines a generically separable degree-nn cover of the xx-axis, fully ramified at the origin. For an integer composition ν\nu of nn, let Hν\mathcal{H}_\nu^\ell and Qν\mathcal{Q}_\nu^\ell parametrize a module MM of colength \ell together with a yy-stable flag on M/xMM/xM of parabolic type ν\nu, and let Hilbν(q,t)\operatorname{Hilb}_\nu(q,t) and Quotν(q,t)\operatorname{Quot}_\nu(q,t) be the corresponding generating series. Parabolic Hilb-vs-Quot conjecture. For any RR and ν\nu as above,

Hilbν(q,t)=Quotν(q,q12t).\operatorname{Hilb}_\nu(q,t)=\operatorname{Quot}_\nu(q,q^{\frac12}t).

This is a parabolic refinement of Hilb-vs-Quot and is designed to compare the Hilbert- and Quot-scheme formulations of the Oblomkov--Rasmussen--Shende conjecture. The paper proves it for f(x,y)=y3xdf(x,y)=y^3-x^d with dd coprime to 33, while the general statement remains open.
