The Gog–Magog bijection conjecture
The Gog–Magog bijection conjecture
A Gog triangle of size is a triangular array satisfying the Gog-triangle conditions, and a Magog triangle of size is a triangular array satisfying the Magog-triangle conditions. An Gog trapezoid and an Magog trapezoid are the corresponding truncated triangles of size and parameter .
Gog–Magog bijection conjecture. There exists a bijection from Gog triangles of size to Magog triangles of size , which maps Gog trapezoids to Magog trapezoids for all .
This conjecture seeks a bijective explanation of the equality between the enumerations of Gog and Magog triangles while preserving the natural trapezoid subclasses. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
