Sommers–Tymoczko's Weyl type subset generating-function conjecture

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let I⊂Φ+I\subset\Phi^+ be a lower ideal. A subset Y⊂IY\subset I is of Weyl type if calpha,β∈Ycalpha,\beta\in Y and α+β∈I\alpha+\beta\in I imply α+β∈Y\alpha+\beta\in Y, and if γ,δ∈I∖Y\gamma,\delta\in I\setminus Y and γ+δ∈I\gamma+\delta\in I, then γ+δ∈I∖Y\gamma+\delta\in I\setminus Y. Let WI\mathcal{W}^I be the set of Weyl type subsets of II, and let d1I,…,dnId_1^I,\dots,d_n^I be the dual partitions of the height distributions of positive roots in II. Sommers–Tymoczko's conjecture.

∑Y∈WIq∣Y∣=∏i=1n(1+q+⋯+qdiI).\sum_{Y\in\mathcal{W}^I}q^{|Y|}=\prod_{i=1}^n(1+q+\cdots+q^{d_i^I}).

This conjecture relates Weyl type subsets of a lower ideal to the dual partition of its positive-root height distribution. The source presents it as a conjecture of Sommers and Tymoczko; no resolution is supplied here.
