The refined Narayana Lie-idempotent conjecture

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let Ft\mathsf{F}_t be the parameterized series, let Fn,t\mathsf{F}_{n,t} be its homogeneous component of degree nn, let ca⁡n,t\operatorname{\mathbf{ca}}_{n,t} be the corresponding tt-Narayana fraction, and let Sn\mathfrak{S}_n be the symmetric group. Refined Narayana Lie-idempotent conjecture. In the symmetric group ring of Sn\mathfrak{S}_n, one has

Fn,t⋅Fn,t=nca⁡n,tFn,t.\mathsf{F}_{n,t}\cdot\mathsf{F}_{n,t}=n\operatorname{\mathbf{ca}}_{n,t}\mathsf{F}_{n,t}.

This would make the homogeneous components parameterized Lie idempotents up to the scalar nca⁡n,tn\operatorname{\mathbf{ca}}_{n,t}. The identity has been checked through S6\mathfrak{S}_6, but remains conjectural in general.
