Positive Laurent formula conjecture for the stacked twist map

About 8 years old · traced to

Let VV and WW be matrices whose stacked matrix is U:=stack⁡(V,W)∈Mat⁡∘(k+ℓ,n)U:=\operatorname{stack}(V,W)\in\operatorname{Mat}^{\circ}(k+\ell,n), and let the stacked twist map satisfy θ(V,W)=(W~,V~)\theta(V,W)=(\widetilde W,\widetilde V). Write U~:=τ(U)=stack⁡(W~,V~)\widetilde U:=\tau(U)=\operatorname{stack}(\widetilde W,\widetilde V), Z:=W⊥Z:=W^\perp, and Z~:=W~⊥\widetilde Z:=\widetilde W^\perp. Positive Laurent formula conjecture. There exist polynomials HH and H′H' in the maximal minors of VV and ZZ, with nonnegative integer coefficients, such that for every I∈([n]ℓ+m)I\in{[n]\choose \ell+m} and I∈([n]ℓ)I\in{[n]\choose \ell} respectively,

ΔI(Z~)=H±∏j∈IΔ[j−ℓ,j+k)(U),\Delta_I(\widetilde Z)=\frac{H}{\pm\prod_{j\in I}\Delta_{[j-\ell,j+k)}(U)},

and

ΔI(V~)=H′±∏j∈IΔ[j−ℓ,j+k)(U).\Delta_I(\widetilde V)=\frac{H'}{\pm\prod_{j\in I}\Delta_{[j-\ell,j+k)}(U)}.

This predicts positivity and Laurent-type expressions for twisted Plücker coordinates; the source gives no resolution.
