Fischer–Riegler conjecture for vertically symmetric alternating-sign matrices
Let denote the generalized monotone-triangle enumeration, and let . An alternating-sign matrix (ASM) is a square matrix with entries in whose row and column sums are , with nonzero entries alternating in every row and column. Fischer–Riegler conjecture. The identity
should hold; moreover, counts vertically symmetric ASMs of size . This is one of several identities conjectured from computational evidence, and the source highlights the interest of finding bijective proofs.
