Hanusa–Nath positivity conjecture for affine type C_3^{(1)} core abaci

From papers

Let N\mathbb{N} denote the nonnegative integers, and let C0\mathcal{C}_0 be the set of core abaci of affine type C3(1)C_3^{(1)} with charge 00. The preceding proposition identifies the values λ|\lambda| for λC0\lambda\in\mathcal{C}_0 with the values of the quadratic polynomial below. Hanusa–Nath's positivity conjecture. Each number in N{2,12,13,73}\mathbb{N}-\{2, 12, 13, 73\} is of the form

6(k12+k22+k32)+3k1+k2+5k3,6(k_1^2+k_2^2+k_3^2)+3k_1+k_2+5k_3,

where k1,k2,k3Zk_1,k_2,k_3\in\mathbb{Z}. This is an equivalent formulation of the positivity conjecture for affine type C3(1)C_3^{(1)}, and it would show that the only excluded values in the set of sizes of charge-zero core abaci are 2,12,132,12,13, and 7373.
