de Gier's stationary distribution conjecture for half-turn-invariant FPL link patterns
Let be the number of half-turn-invariant FPLs of size with half-turn-invariant link pattern , and let be the total number of such FPLs. Consider the Markov chain on half-turn-invariant link patterns obtained by choosing uniformly one of the symmetrized cyclic Temperley–Lieb generators; its unique stationary distribution is denoted by . de Gier's conjecture. The stationary distribution for half-turn-invariant link patterns of size is
This conjecture extends the stationary-distribution claim from ordinary FPLs to the half-turn-invariant setting. The source gives no resolution evidence.
