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

From papers

For k3k\geq 3, let ISkIS_k be the set of irreducible kk-shapes. For an irreducible kk-shape λ\lambda, let fr(λ)=(t1,,tk2){0,1}k2\overrightarrow{fr}(\lambda)=(t_1,\ldots,t_{k-2})\in\{0,1\}^{k-2} record its free kk-sites. Let SPk1SP_{k-1} be the set of surjective pistols, and for fSPk1f\in SP_{k-1} let fix(f)=(t1,,tk2){0,1}k2\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 k3k\geq 3 and every v=(v1,,vk2){0,1}k2\overrightarrow{v}=(v_1,\ldots,v_{k-2})\in\{0,1\}^{k-2}, the number of λISk\lambda\in IS_k with fr(λ)=v\overrightarrow{fr}(\lambda)=\overrightarrow{v} equals the number of fSPk1f\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.
