Miller–Reiner Smith normal form conjecture for differential posets

From papers

Let PP be a differential poset, let pnp_n denote the size of its rank-nn set, and let Un1DnU_{n-1}D_n be the composite of the down operator DnD_n from rank nn to rank n1n-1 with the up operator Un1U_{n-1} from rank n1n-1 to rank nn. The map is considered over the polynomial ring Z[t]\mathbb{Z}[t]. Miller–Reiner's conjecture. For all differential posets PP and all nn, the map

Un1Dn+tI:Z[t]pnZ[t]pnU_{n-1}D_n+tI:\mathbb{Z}[t]^{p_n}\to\mathbb{Z}[t]^{p_n}

has a Smith normal form over Z[t]\mathbb{Z}[t]. Since Z[t]\mathbb{Z}[t] is not a principal ideal domain, this would extend the usual Smith-normal-form theory beyond the PID setting and provide structural information about the associated cokernels.
