Morales's Ehrhart positivity conjecture for CRY and Tesler matrix polytopes

For aNn\boldsymbol{a}\in\mathbb{N}^n, let Tesn(a)\operatorname{Tes}_n(\boldsymbol{a}) be the polytope of upper triangular n×nn\times n matrices with nonnegative entries and hook sum a\boldsymbol{a}. Define the CRY polytope by

CRYn=Tesn(1,0,,0),\mathcal{CRY}_n=\operatorname{Tes}_n(1,0,\dots,0),

and call Tesn(1,1,,1)\operatorname{Tes}_n(1,1,\dots,1) the Tesler matrix polytope. Morales's conjecture. For each nn, the CRY polytope CRYn\mathcal{CRY}_n and the Tesler matrix polytope Tesn(1,1,,1)\operatorname{Tes}_n(1,1,\dots,1) are both Ehrhart positive. These polytopes arise from Tesler matrices and include the Chan--Robbins--Yuen polytope, whose volume formula is known. The positivity assertion is based on computations for small nn and remains open in the supplied source.
