Shareshian–Wachs's h-unimodality conjecture for Hessenberg representations

Let PP be a natural unit interval order on [n][n]. For each jj, let chH2j(H(P))\operatorname{ch}H^{2j}({\mathcal H}(P)) be the Frobenius characteristic of Tymoczko's representation on degree 2j2j cohomology. Shareshian–Wachs's Hessenberg h-unimodality conjecture. The palindromic sequence

(chH2j(H(P)))0jE(inc(P))\bigl(\operatorname{ch}H^{2j}({\mathcal H}(P))\bigr)_{0\leq j\leq |E(\operatorname{inc}(P))|}

is hh-unimodal. The conjecture is proposed as a strengthening of the known Schur-unimodality result of MacPherson and Tymoczko; its general status is open.
