The closed formula for the refined tree index

About 8 years old · traced to

Let γi\gamma_i be charge vectors, let Ftr,n({γi},z)F_{{\rm tr},n}(\{\gamma_i\},z) be the partial tree index, let κ\kappa be the two-centered index factor, and define

βkk=∑i=1k−1γik.\beta_{kk}=\sum_{i=1}^{k-1}\gamma_{ik}.

Let Sym{\rm Sym} denote the symmetrization over the charge labels. The refined tree-index conjecture. The tree index is conjectured to satisfy

gtr({γi},z,y)=(−1)n−1(n−1)! Sym{Ftr,n({γi},z)∏k=2nκ(βkk)}.g_{\rm tr}(\{\gamma_i\},z,y)=(-1)^{n-1}(n-1)!\,{\rm Sym}\left\{F_{{\rm tr},n}(\{\gamma_i\},z)\prod_{k=2}^{n}\kappa(\beta_{kk})\right\}.

The formula is motivated by the explicit three-centered result and is proposed as a uniform representation for arbitrary nn. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution, so its general status remains open.
