Positivity conjecture for matrix counts of a complementary diagonal permutation

About 9 years old · traced to

For a positive integer nn, let v=(2n−1)(2n)(2n−3)(2n−2)⋯3412v=(2n-1)(2n)(2n-3)(2n-2)\cdots3412 be the indicated permutation, and let IvI_v be its diagram. Write M2n(Iv‾,q)M_{2n}(\overline{I_v},q) for the matrix count of rank-2n2n matrices over Fq\mathbf{F}_q supported in the complement of IvI_v. Positivity conjecture. For v=(2n−1)(2n)(2n−3)(2n−2)⋯3412v=(2n-1)(2n)(2n-3)(2n-2)\cdots3412, M2n(Iv‾,q)M_{2n}(\overline{I_v},q) belongs to N[q]\mathbb{N}[q]. Computations in the source verify this for n≤40n\leq40, but the general assertion is left as a conjecture.
