Pyatov's conjecture for the HSFPL nest generating function

About 17 years old · traced to

For half-turn symmetric FPL diagrams with L=2nL=2n external terminals, let P(L,m)P(L,m) count diagrams with m+1m+1 nests and define

P(L;z)=∑m=0n−1P(L,m)zm.\mathcal{P}(L;z)=\sum_{m=0}^{n-1}P(L,m)z^m.

Let ZHTSFPL(2n)Z_{\rm HTSFPL}(2n) be the total number of half-turn symmetric FPL diagrams of size 2n2n. Pyatov's conjecture. The nest generating function is

P(2n;z)=ZHTSFPL(2n)3n4n2−1 3F2(32,1−n,1+n2−2n,2+2n;4z).\mathcal{P}(2n;z)=Z_{\rm HTSFPL}(2n)\frac{3n}{4n^2-1}\,{}_3F_2\left(\begin{array}{c}\frac{3}{2},1-n,1+n\\2-2n,2+2n\end{array};4z\right).

The paper attributes this conjecture to de Gier; it is stated only for L=2nL=2n and d∗=0d^*=0, and the supplied text gives no resolution, so it remains open.
