Non-D-finiteness conjecture for Baumslag–Solitar generating functions

About 14 years old · traced to

Let BS(1,M)\mathrm{BS}(1,M) be the Baumslag–Solitar group with M>1M>1. Let G(z;q)G(z;q) be the bivariate generating function for the trivial-word enumeration considered in the paper, and let [q0]G(z;q)[q^0]G(z;q) denote its constant term in qq. Non-D-finiteness conjecture. The generating functions G(z;q)G(z;q) and [q0]G(z;q)[q^0]G(z;q) are not D-finite. This is motivated by the qq-deformed Catalan structure of the related generating functions, but no proof is given.
