Multiplicity refinement for specialized spectral-invariant varieties

Let V(I)V(I') be the affine variety defined by the specialized ideal II' associated with the specialized spectral-invariant system, and let qq denote the period. A point is regular when it is nonsingular, and multiplicity refers to its scheme-theoretic multiplicity. Multiplicity refinement conjecture. If qq is odd, then V(I)V(I') has only regular nonzero points. If qq is even and greater than 66, then, up to symmetry, V(I)V(I') has a single singular point of multiplicity 2q222^{\frac{q}{2}-2}. Moreover, the multiplicity at the zero point is

2q2.2^{\left\lfloor \frac{q}{2}\right\rfloor}.

This refinement is based on computational data for the specialized variety and remains unresolved in the supplied text.
