The recursive term-order conjecture for lecture-hall Gröbner bases

Let InI_n be the toric ideal defining the semigroup algebra C[LnZn]\mathbb{C}[L_n\cap\mathbb{Z}^n]. Order its variables lexicographically according to the recursively arranged Hilbert basis generators: when passing from n1n-1 to nn, copy each previous block and place nn1\begin{array}{c}n \\ n-1\end{array} above the copied columns.

Recursive term-order conjecture. For this choice of term order, the recursive Gröbner basis conjecture for InI_n is true.

The proposed order is intended to realize the recursive structure and Sperner-pair count in the preceding Gröbner basis conjecture. The claim is based on computational evidence for n7n\leq 7 and remains unproved.
