Göttsche–Kool universal-function conjecture for rank-two virtual Segre numbers
Let be the surface and the moduli space defined above, let , and let have . The universal functions lie in , while lie in . Set
The functions are given by the formulas in the conjecture, with algebraic functions. Göttsche–Kool conjecture. For every such , the virtual Segre series satisfies
where
This is the rank-two adjustment of the Göttsche–Kool conjecture and gives a universal description of virtual Segre numbers in terms of surface invariants and Seiberg–Witten basic classes. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
