Hivert–Mallet–Mallet vectorial conjecture for irreducible k-shapes and surjective pistols

About 12 years old · traced to

For k≥3k\geq 3, let ISkIS_k be the set of irreducible kk-shapes. For an irreducible kk-shape λ\lambda, let fr→(λ)=(t1,…,tk−2)∈{0,1}k−2\overrightarrow{fr}(\lambda)=(t_1,\ldots,t_{k-2})\in\{0,1\}^{k-2} record its free kk-sites. Let SPk−1SP_{k-1} be the set of surjective pistols, and for f∈SPk−1f\in SP_{k-1} let fix→(f)=(t1,…,tk−2)∈{0,1}k−2\overrightarrow{fix}(f)=(t_1,\ldots,t_{k-2})\in\{0,1\}^{k-2}, where ti=1t_i=1 exactly when f(2i)=2if(2i)=2i. Mallet's vectorial conjecture. For every k≥3k\geq 3 and every v→=(v1,…,vk−2)∈{0,1}k−2\overrightarrow{v}=(v_1,\ldots,v_{k-2})\in\{0,1\}^{k-2}, the number of λ∈ISk\lambda\in IS_k with fr→(λ)=v→\overrightarrow{fr}(\lambda)=\overrightarrow{v} equals the number of f∈SPk−1f\in SP_{k-1} with fix→(f)=v→\overrightarrow{fix}(f)=\overrightarrow{v}. This refines the corresponding equality of generating functions by preserving the full statistic vector.
