The complete-relations conjecture for the universal subring of Higgs-bundle cohomology

About 25 years old · traced to

Let M\mathcal{M} be the moduli space above, let HI∗(M)⊂H∗(M)ΓH_I^*(\mathcal{M})\subset H^*(\mathcal{M})^\Gamma be the subring generated by the universal classes αM\alpha_{\mathcal{M}}, βM\beta_{\mathcal{M}}, and γM\gamma_{\mathcal{M}}. Define

ρr,s,t=∑i=0min⁡(r,s)(ri)(g−t−ig−t−s)αr−iβs−i(2γ)t+i\rho_{r,s,t}=\sum_{i=0}^{\min(r,s)}\binom{r}{i}\binom{g-t-i}{g-t-s}\alpha^{r-i}\beta^{s-i}(2\gamma)^{t+i}

for r,s,t≥0r,s,t\geq 0, and let RR be the graded ring generated by α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma of degrees 22, 44, and 66, respectively, with relations ρr,s,t\rho_{r,s,t} whenever r+3s+3t>3g−3r+3s+3t>3g-3. The complete-relations conjecture. The subring HI∗(M)H_I^*(\mathcal{M}) is isomorphic to RR.

The conjecture would give a complete description of the subring generated by αM\alpha_{\mathcal{M}}, βM\beta_{\mathcal{M}}, and γM\gamma_{\mathcal{M}}. It is based on numerical computer calculations; the source does not state a proof or a resolution.
