Criado–Quintero–Lundqvist–Nenashev dimension conjecture for two additional squares

Let Pn=cmathbbF[x1,,xn]P_n=cmathbb{F}[x_1,\ldots,x_n], let cell1,cell2cell_1,cell_2 be general linear forms in PnP_n, and let an,da_{n,d} denote the number of lattice paths from (0,0)(0,0) to (n+22s,n+2)(n+2-2s,n+2), with moves

(i,j)(i+1,j+1)or(i,j)(i1,j+1),(i,j)\to(i+1,j+1)\quad\text{or}\quad(i,j)\to(i-1,j+1),

where the first and last moves are to the right and the path does not cross x=0x=0 or x=n+22dx=n+2-2d. The Criado–Quintero–Lundqvist–Nenashev conjecture. For all n,dn,d, one has

dim((Pn(x12,,xn2,12,22))d)=an,d.\dim\left(\left(\frac{P_n}{(x_1^2,\ldots,x_n^2,\ell_1^2,\ell_2^2)}\right)_d\right)=a_{n,d}.

This conjecture gives the dimension predicted for the quotient by n+2n+2 general quadratic forms and is connected in the paper to the failure or injectivity of multiplication by a general linear form. The source records it as an existing conjecture and does not supply evidence of resolution.
