Multiplicativity conjecture for layered resultants

Let ff, gg, and hh be layered polynomials for which the layered resultants below are defined, and let LL be the layer structure; write L\joinrel\joinrel=\mathrel{\underset{L}{\mid}}\joinrel\joinrel= for equality up to multiplication by a layer unit. Multiplicativity conjecture.

R(f,gh)L\joinrel\joinrel=R(f,g)R(f,h)|\mathfrak R(f,gh)| \mathrel{\underset{L}{\mid}}\joinrel\joinrel= |\mathfrak R(f,g)|\,|\mathfrak R(f,h)|

and

R(fg,h)L\joinrel\joinrel=R(f,h)R(g,h).|\mathfrak R(fg,h)| \mathrel{\underset{L}{\mid}}\joinrel\joinrel= |\mathfrak R(f,h)|\,|\mathfrak R(g,h)|.

The preceding results give bounds for permanents of layer Sylvester matrices in the primary case, but the multiplicative behavior of layered resultants asserted here remains unresolved in the supplied text.
