The antichain-sequence conjecture for naturally labeled posets

Let (P,ω)(P,\omega) and (Q,τ)(Q,\tau) be naturally labeled posets, meaning that the labeling is compatible with the poset order. Write (P,ω)(Q,τ)(P,\omega)\sim(Q,\tau) when their PP-partition generating functions are equal. For a poset PP, let

anti(P)=(a1,,aw),\mathrm{anti}(P)=(a_1,\ldots,a_w),

where aia_i is the number of antichains in PP of size ii and ww is the width of PP. Antichain-sequence conjecture. If (P,ω)(Q,τ)(P,\omega)\sim(Q,\tau), then

anti(P)=anti(Q).\mathrm{anti}(P)=\mathrm{anti}(Q).

This would strengthen the preceding result that equality of PP-partition generating functions preserves the width of naturally labeled posets. The conjecture is presented as an extension of that corollary; the source gives no resolution.
