Bergeron–Favreau–Krob conjecture on differential equations for bounded-height tableau generating functions

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Yk(t)Y_k(t) denote the generating function for standard Young tableaux of height at most kk, and let pm(t)p_m(t) be polynomials in tt.

Bergeron–Favreau–Krob conjecture. For each kk, there are polynomials pm(t)p_m(t) of degree at most ⌊k2⌋\lfloor\frac{k}{2}\rfloor such that Yk(t)Y_k(t) is a solution of a linear differential equation of order at most ⌊k2⌋+1\lfloor\frac{k}{2}\rfloor+1 with coefficients pm(t)p_m(t).

This conjecture concerns the differential equations satisfied by the D-finite generating functions Yk(t)Y_k(t). It was formulated from computer experiments and analysis of determinant expressions involving modified Bessel functions; the supplied source does not state whether it has been resolved.
