Polynomial coercivity conjecture for the Ginzburg–Landau Hessian

From papers

Let E(u)E”(u) be the Hessian of the Ginzburg–Landau energy at a minimizer uu, and let ρ(κ)1\rho(\kappa)^{-1} denote its coercivity constant. Assume the general hypotheses of the paper and let κ1\kappa\geq 1. Polynomial coercivity conjecture. There exists α1\alpha\geq 1 such that

ρ(κ)1κα.\rho(\kappa)^{-1}\lesssim \kappa^\alpha.

Equivalently, the coercivity scale satisfies ρ(κ)κα\rho(\kappa)\sim \kappa^\alpha according to the preceding numerical observation. No analytic dependence on κ\kappa is known; the conjecture is intended to be verified numerically.
