Durfee's conjecture for isolated surface hypersurface singularities

From papers

Let fC[[x,y,z]]f\in\mathbb{C}[[x,y,z]] be an isolated hypersurface singularity. Let μ\mu be its Milnor number and pgp_g its geometric genus. Durfee's conjecture.

6pgμ,6p_g\leq\mu,

with equality only when μ=0\mu=0. This conjecture is presented as still open and is stronger than the 3/23/2 quotient conjecture.
