Ballantine–Beck–Feigon–Maurischat's unimodality conjecture for the even partition numerator

From papers

Write the ordinary partition numerator as num(n,x)=num0(n,x)+num1(n,x)\operatorname{num}(n,x)=\operatorname{num}_0(n,x)+\operatorname{num}_1(n,x), where num0(n,x)\operatorname{num}_0(n,x) contains the even powers of xx and num1(n,x)\operatorname{num}_1(n,x) contains the odd powers. Ballantine–Beck–Feigon–Maurischat's unimodality conjecture. The polynomial num0(n,x)\operatorname{num}_0(n,x) is unimodal. This is a coefficient-shape conjecture for the ordinary numerator; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
