Vanishing-range conjecture for Hurwitz-number coefficients with at least two fixed points

From papers

Let d10d\geq10 and let ν\nu be a partition of dd with m1(ν)2m_1(\nu)\geq2. Let zνz_\nu be the standard centralizer factor, and let bνX(μ(1),,μ(s),m)b^X_\nu(\mu^{(1)},\dots,\mu^{(s)},m) denote the coefficients from Theorem~. Vanishing-range conjecture for m1(ν)2m_1(\nu)\geq2. These coefficients vanish when

d!m1(ν)dzν<m<d!zν\frac{d!m_1(\nu)}{d\cdot z_\nu}<m<\frac{d!}{z_\nu}

and when

d!(m1(ν)1)(d1)zν<m<d!m1(ν)dzν,\frac{d!(m_1(\nu)-1)}{(d-1)z_\nu}<m<\frac{d!m_1(\nu)}{d\cdot z_\nu},

and

bνX(μ(1),,μ(s),d!m1(ν)dzν)=d22g(X)si=1sm1(μ(i)).b^X_\nu\left(\mu^{(1)},\dots,\mu^{(s)},\frac{d!m_1(\nu)}{d\cdot z_\nu}\right)=-d^{2-2g(X)-s}\prod_{i=1}^s m_1(\mu^{(i)}).

Moreover, if ν(2d/21,12)\nu\neq(2^{d/2-1},1^2), then

bνX(μ(1),,μ(s),d!(m1(ν)1)(d1)zν)=(d1)22g(X)si=1s(m1(μ(i))1).b^X_\nu\left(\mu^{(1)},\dots,\mu^{(s)},\frac{d!(m_1(\nu)-1)}{(d-1)z_\nu}\right)=(d-1)^{2-2g(X)-s}\prod_{i=1}^s(m_1(\mu^{(i)})-1).

The conjecture is presented as a coefficient-level extension of the character-ratio bounds and is part of the paper's proposed large-genus asymptotic picture; no general proof is supplied.
