The weak rearrangement conjecture for generalized factor order

About 16 years old · traced to

Let PP be the positive integers with their usual order, let P∗\mathbb{P}^* denote the set of finite words over PP, and let u∽vu\backsim v mean that the weight generating functions of uu and vv are equal. Two words are rearrangements when they contain the same letters with the same multiplicities. Weak rearrangement conjecture. If u∽vu\backsim v, then vv is a rearrangement of the letters of uu. This conjecture is known for words with increasing/decreasing factorizations, but remains open for arbitrary words.
