Shareshian–Wachs conjecture on torsion in chessboard-complex homology

Let Mm,n\mathsf{M}_{m,n} denote the chessboard complex, and let H~d(Mm,n;Z)\tilde{H}_{d}(\mathsf{M}_{m,n};\mathbb{Z}) be its reduced homology. For the parametrization used in the source, let kk, aa, and bb be the associated integers. Shareshian–Wachs conjecture. For 1mn1\le m\le n, the group H~d(Mm,n;Z)\tilde{H}_{d}(\mathsf{M}_{m,n};\mathbb{Z}) contains 33-torsion if and only if

{mn2m5m+n43dm3{k0\a0\b2.\left\{\begin{array}{ccl}m\le n\le 2m-5\\\left\lceil\frac{m+n-4}{3}\right\rceil\le d\le m-3\end{array}\right. \Longleftrightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{ccl}k&\ge&0\a&\ge&0\b&\ge&2. \end{array}\right.

This describes precisely the range in which the relevant chessboard-complex homology has 33-torsion; the supplied context discusses the connection with the 33-torsion results of Shareshian and Wachs and related homology calculations.
