Odd-positive coefficient conjecture for the rational-surface polynomials B4nB_{4n}

Let hh and pp be the generators used in the paper for the polynomial expressions B4nB_{4n}. For every integer nn, there is a nonnegative integer l(n)l(n) such that B4n/2l(n)B_{4n}/2^{l(n)} is a polynomial in hh and pp. Odd-positive coefficient conjecture. For every nn, all coefficients of this polynomial are odd positive integers. The conjecture is motivated by the explicit computations of B4nB_{4n} and is supported by the previously computed cases, but no resolution is supplied here.
