Conjectured chain decomposition of Dyck partitions
Fix and let . A Dyck partition is a partition equipped with the Dyck-partition structure used in the paper; is the Dyck partition associated with . For a Dyck partition , is its associated chain, and and are the paper's statistics.
Conjectured chain decomposition. There exists a sequence of Dyck partitions with strictly increasing sizes satisfying all five stated conditions: it contains ; its values are weakly decreasing and then weakly increasing; all its elements have constant deficit statistic equal to
for every , exactly one element of the union of their chains has size ; and the corresponding unions for and are -opposite in every size .
This conjecture is presented as a stronger structural generalization of the hook and almost-hook results. Its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
