Positivity conjecture for elliptic Bernoulli numbers

Let B2m\mathcal{B}_{2m} be the elliptic Bernoulli numbers, and let ww, η\eta, g2g_2, and g3g_3 denote the associated Weierstrass quantities. Positivity conjecture. The elliptic Bernoulli numbers have the form

B2m=(1)m1(A^(m)(g2,g3)wB^(m)(g2,g3)η),\mathcal{B}_{2m}=(-1)^{m-1}\bigl(\hat A^{(m)}(g_2,g_3)w-\hat B^{(m)}(g_2,g_3)\eta\bigr),

where the polynomials A^(m)(g2,g3)\hat A^{(m)}(g_2,g_3) and B^(m)(g2,g3)\hat B^{(m)}(g_2,g_3) have positive rational coefficients. This is proposed as a potentially easier route to proving the alternating-sign property for the reduced elliptic Faulhaber polynomials. No general proof is supplied, although the claim is a stated conjecture.
