The Oblomkov–Rasmussen–Shende conjecture for Hilbert schemes of points on singular curves

Let CC2C\subset\mathbb{C}^2 be a singular curve with a planar singularity at the origin, and let LL be the algebraic link obtained by intersecting CC with a sufficiently small 33-sphere centered at the origin. Write Hilbn(C,0)\mathrm{Hilb}^n(C,0) for the Hilbert scheme of length-nn subschemes of CC supported at the origin, and let HHH(L)\mathrm{HHH}(L) denote the colored Khovanov–Rozansky homology of LL. Oblomkov–Rasmussen–Shende conjecture. The homology of the Hilbert schemes is identified with the homology of the corresponding link, namely

HHHa=0(L)=k,n=0Hk(Hilbn(C,0)).\mathrm{HHH}^{a=0}(L)=\bigoplus_{k,n=0}^{\infty}\mathrm{H}^k(\mathrm{Hilb}^n(C,0)).

This conjecture connects invariants of planar curve singularities with colored Khovanov–Rozansky homology of algebraic links. The supplied text states the conjecture but gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
