Sum rules for the special values of fully packed loop polynomials
For a matching , define ; let and denote the enumerative quantities used in the source, and let denote the empty matching with nested arches. Sum-rule conjecture. For every positive integer ,
and
These identities describe striking global relations among the special values ; the source notes that part of the second equality follows from other conjectures, while the general conjectural picture remains open.
