The switch map's dinv and fixed-point conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let P3,n\mathcal{P}_{3,n} be the set of (3,n)(3,n)-parking functions, let pides⁡(π)=2a1b\operatorname{pides}(\pi)=2^a1^b, let Φ\Phi be the involution whose fixed points are the fixed parking functions, and let S\mathbb{S} be the switch map. The switch-map conjecture. For any π∈P3,n\pi\in\mathcal{P}_{3,n} with pides⁡(π)=2a1b\operatorname{pides}(\pi)=2^a1^b, (a)

dinv⁡(π)=dinv⁡(S(π)).\operatorname{dinv}(\pi)=\operatorname{dinv}(\mathbb{S}(\pi)).

(b) When nn and 33 are coprime, if π\pi is a fixed point of Φ\Phi, then so is S(π)\mathbb{S}(\pi), and

pides⁡(S(π))=2b1a.\operatorname{pides}(\mathbb{S}(\pi))=2^b1^a.

The conjecture was verified for parking functions with at most 10 rows, while the text notes that part (b) fails when nn is a multiple of 33.
