Zappa's extension of the Alon–Tarsi conjecture
Let a Latin square be normalized if its first row is the identity permutation and unipotent if all entries on its main diagonal are equal. Let and be the numbers of normalized unipotent even and odd Latin squares of order , respectively, and define
Zappa's extension of the Alon–Tarsi conjecture. For all ,
This extends the Alon–Tarsi nonvanishing assertion to all orders by using normalized unipotent Latin squares; the source presents it as an extension proposed by Zappa, without resolving it in general.
