Polynomial relationship conjecture for persistence entropy and shape factor

From papers

Let MM be a triply-periodic minimal surface. Write PE1(M)\operatorname{PE}_1(M) for its 1-persistence entropy and d(M)d(M) for its shape factor.

Polynomial relationship conjecture. For any triply-periodic minimal surface MM, there exists a polynomial PR[t]P \in \mathbb{R}[t] such that

PE1(M)=P(d(M)).\operatorname{PE}_1(M) = P(d(M)).

The conjecture is motivated by experiments on the Gyroid and Schwarz surfaces, which provide evidence for polynomial relationships between the shape factor and 1-persistence entropy; the proposed exponential model was discarded because it offered little improvement over the polynomial model. Its general validity for all triply-periodic minimal surfaces remains unestablished.
