Next-nearest-neighbor correlation formula conjecture

Let N=2n+1N=2n+1 be odd, and let aja_j denote the local observable used for the spin-chain correlations. Correlation formula conjecture. The next-nearest-neighbor correlation is

ajaj+2=n14(2n1)(2n+1)2(2n+3)[714n3+1494n2+18n+9].\langle a_j a_{j+2}\rangle=\frac{n-1}{4(2n-1)(2n+1)^2(2n+3)}\left[\frac{71}{4}n^3+\frac{149}{4}n^2+18n+9\right].

The expression is described as a fit to the available data rather than a derived identity, so its validity beyond the computed cases remains open.
