A combined integrality conjecture for generalized Frobenius partition functions

From papers

Let α\alpha and aa be as in the preceding construction, let β{0,1}\beta\in\{0,1\}, let φ\varphi denote the relevant theta function, let qq be the nome, let WτW\tau denote the transformed parameter, and let Lα(β)L_{\alpha}^{(\beta)} be the associated modular function. The preceding theorem shows that each summand, after multiplication by φ((1)β+1q1+4a)\varphi\left((-1)^{\beta+1}q^{1+4a}\right), has coefficients supported in the appropriate residue class modulo 44. Combined integrality conjecture.

β=0,1φ((1)β+1q1+4a)Lα(β)(Wτ)Z[[q4]].\sum_{\beta=0,1}\varphi\left((-1)^{\beta+1}q^{1+4a}\right) L_{\alpha}^{(\beta)}(W\tau) \in\mathbb{Z}[[q^4]].

This conjecture proposes that summing the two β\beta-components eliminates the remaining terms outside powers divisible by 44. It is presented as a possible simpler statement following the preceding theorem, and no proof or resolution is supplied.
