Main conjecture on log-concavity of local BPS invariants

From papers

Let (C,0)(C,0) be a reduced planar curve singularity over k=C\mathbf{k} = \mathbb{C}, let δ\delta be its δ\delta-invariant, and let nh(C,0)n_h(C,0), 0hδ0\leq h\leq\delta, be the BPS invariants defined by the genus expansion of the Euler characteristics of punctual Hilbert schemes. Main conjecture. The sequence n0(C,0),,nδ(C,0)n_0(C,0),\ldots,n_{\delta}(C,0) is log-concave with no internal zeros. In particular, it is unimodal. This predicts a strong form of regularity for the enumerative invariants of planar curve singularities; the source presents it as a conjecture and gives no resolution.
