The Möbius function formula conjecture for intervals
The Möbius function formula conjecture for intervals
Let , and let be a permutation in . Define the statistics , , , , , , , and as in the preceding construction. In particular,
Möbius function formula conjecture. If begins with , ends with , or contains a triple adjacency, then
Otherwise,
Moreover, the sign of is positive if and only if is even.
This conjectural formula gives an explicit Möbius value for a broad class of permutation-poset intervals. It was checked computationally for all pairs with and ; the general formula remains unproved in the supplied source.
