Spin-parity refinement of the polynomiality conjecture for Witten's classes

Let aa be fixed, and suppose that rr is even and aa is odd. Let Wg±(a,r)W_g^\pm(a,r) denote the refinement of Witten's class according to spin parity, and let [Mg(a)]±[\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g(a)]^\pm denote the corresponding spin-parity refinement of the class of the stratum of holomorphic differentials. Spin-parity polynomiality conjecture. For fixed aa, the class Wg±(a,r)W_g^\pm(a,r) behaves polynomially in rr, and [Mg(a)]±[\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g(a)]^\pm is the constant coefficient of this polynomial. This conjecture is the spin-parity refinement of the polynomiality and constant-term relation for Witten's classes, providing a proposed method for computing classes of strata of holomorphic differentials with prescribed spin parity. Its status is not determined in the supplied source.
