Laurent irreducibility conjecture for toric-digraph R-systems

Let ΛZ2\Lambda\subset\mathbb{Z}^2 be a rank-two lattice containing none of e1=(1,0)e_1=(1,0), e2=(0,1)e_2=(0,1), or e2±e1e_2\pm e_1, and let G(Λ)G(\Lambda) be the resulting toric digraph with vertex set V=Z2/ΛV=\mathbb{Z}^2/\Lambda. Define Yv(t)Y_v(t) recursively by the toric-digraph recurrence in the paper, with initial variables xV=(xv)vV\mathbf{x}_V=(x_v)_{v\in V}.

Toric-digraph Laurent irreducibility conjecture. The rational functions Yv(t)Y_v(t) are pairwise coprime irreducible polynomials in xV\mathbf{x}_V; more precisely, they are irreducible and coprime as Laurent polynomials, up to monomial factors.

This is the Laurent phenomenon suggested by the authors' computations. They additionally conjecture that these Laurent polynomials are actual polynomials, but the supplied statement asserts pairwise coprimality and irreducibility in the Laurent setting.
