Universal recursive-polynomial conjecture for Fano hypersurfaces

Let MNkM_N^k be a Fano hypersurface, and let LmN,k,dL_m^{N,k,d} be its structure constants for rational curves of degree dd. For each dd, consider the structure constants LmN+1,k,nL_m^{N+1,k,n} with 1nd1\leq n\leq d, and let γ0N,k,d\gamma_0^{N,k,d} denote the coefficient in the fundamental relation used in the paper.

Universal recursion conjecture. There are universal recursive polynomial laws expressing

LmN,k,dL_m^{N,k,d}

in terms of

LmN+1,k,n,1nd.L_m^{N+1,k,n},\qquad 1\leq n\leq d.

The recursive polynomials are invariant when Nk2N-k\geq2, and imply

γ0N,k,d=γ0N+1,k,d.\gamma_0^{N,k,d}=\gamma_0^{N+1,k,d}.

When Nk=1N-k=1, the recursive formulas change only for lines, namely d=1d=1.

These laws are proposed as the general mechanism for descending recursively in NN. The source explicitly describes them as conjectural and later uses them to propose formulas for higher-degree curves; no proof or resolution is given.
