The kaon–glide positivity conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

A weak composition is a finite sequence of nonnegative integers. For weak compositions aa and bb, let P‾a\overline{\mathfrak{P}}_a denote the kaon associated with aa, and let F‾b\overline{\mathfrak{F}}_b denote the glide polynomial associated with bb. Kaon–glide positivity conjecture. For any weak compositions aa and bb, the product

P‾a⋅F‾b\overline{\mathfrak{P}}_a\cdot\overline{\mathfrak{F}}_b

expands as a positive sum of kaons. This is a proposed positive structure theorem for the KK-theoretic kaon basis, whose individual structure coefficients need not otherwise be positive.
