The q,t Catalan difference divisibility conjecture

At least 7 years old · documented by

Let Cn(q,t)\mathcal{C}_n(q,t) and Cn′(q,t)\mathcal{C}'_n(q,t) be the two q,tq,t-Catalan polynomials introduced in the source. Divisibility conjecture. We have

Cn(q,t)−Cn′(q,t)=(qt−1)fn(q,t)\mathcal{C}_n(q,t)-\mathcal{C}'_n(q,t)=(qt-1)f_n(q,t)

for some fn(q,t)∈Z≥0[q,t]f_n(q,t)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}[q,t]. The source states that this relation was verified for all n≤10n\leq 10; its general validity remains open there.
