Integrality and nonnegativity of the hypergeometric coefficients Xm,h(d)(n;μ)X^{(d)}_{m,h}(n;\mu)

The quantities Xm,h(d)(n;μ)X^{(d)}_{m,h}(n;\mu) are defined by the explicit formula preceding these observations, for the parameters and partition μ\mu used there. Integrality conjecture. It holds that

Xm,h(d)(n;μ)Z0.X^{(d)}_{m,h}(n;\mu)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}.

The conjecture is motivated by the tabulated values and, if true, suggests that these coefficients count a special type of cycle in the discrete torus DTm(d)\mathrm{DT}^{(d)}_m.
