Huang–Jiang's conjectural evaluation for the even torus-link singularity

Let R(2,2k)R^{(2,2k)} be the germ of the plane curve singularity y(yxk)=0y(y-x^k)=0, and let N ⁣Z^R(2,2k)(t)\widehat{N\!Z}_{R^{(2,2k)}}(t) denote its motivic Cohen–Lenstra zeta function. Here kk is a positive integer. Huang–Jiang's conjecture. For any positive integer kk,

N ⁣Z^R(2,2k)(1)=j1(1L2j)(1L(k+1)j)2(1Lj)2(1L(2k+2)j).\widehat{N\!Z}_{R^{(2,2k)}}(-1)=\prod_{j\ge 1}\frac{(1-\mathbb{L}^{-2j})(1-\mathbb{L}^{-(k+1)j})^2}{(1-\mathbb{L}^{-j})^2(1-\mathbb{L}^{-(2k+2)j})}.

This conjecture gives a product evaluation of the motivic zeta function at t=1t=-1; the corresponding specialization at t=1t=1 is known to equal 11, while the displayed evaluation was proposed by Huang and Jiang and remains conjectural in the supplied source.
