The closed formula for the refined tree index

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=1k1γik.\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)n1(n1)!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.
