The reciprocal-specialization formula for q,t-Fuss-Catalan numbers

Let WW be a well-generated complex reflection group of rank \ell, acting on C[VV]\mathbb{C}[V\oplus V^*]. Let did_i and did_i^* be the invariant and codegrees appearing in the source, let hh be the Coxeter number, and set

N=i(di1),N=i(di+1).N=\sum_i(d_i-1),\qquad N^*=\sum_i(d_i^*+1).

Here NN is the number of reflections and NN^* is the number of reflecting hyperplanes. Reciprocal-specialization conjecture.

qmNCat(m)(W;q,q1)=qmNCat(m)(W;q1,q)=i=1[di+mh]q[di]q.q^{mN}\operatorname{Cat}^{(m)}(W;q,q^{-1})=q^{mN^*}\operatorname{Cat}^{(m)}(W;q^{-1},q)=\prod_{i=1}^{\ell}\frac{[d_i+mh]_q}{[d_i]_q}.

This is intended to generalize the corresponding type AA formula and is stronger than the dimension conjecture; the source gives no resolution.
