Bressoud's partition identity conjecture for even moduli

From papers

Let Aj(α1,,αλ;η,k,r;n)A_j(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n) count partitions of nn into parts congruent to 0,α1,,αλ(modη)0,\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda\pmod{\eta} satisfying Bressoud's stated congruence and multiplicity conditions, and let Bj(α1,,αλ;η,k,r;n)B_j(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n) count partitions of nn satisfying the corresponding difference, multiplicity, initial-condition, and parity conditions. For j=0j=0 or 11, (2k+j)/2>rλ0(2k+j)/2>r\geq\lambda\geq0, and n0n\geq0, these two partition functions are equal:

Bressoud's conjecture.

Aj(α1,,αλ;η,k,r;n)=Bj(α1,,αλ;η,k,r;n).A_j(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n)=B_j(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n).

This conjecture proposes an overpartition-free partition identity equating a congruence-side enumeration with a difference-condition enumeration for the indicated even-modulus parameters. Its resolution is not established by the supplied source context.
