The switch-map symmetry for Hall scalar products

Let m,n>0m,n>0, let μ=μ1μkn\mu=\mu_1\cdots\mu_k\vdash n be a composition as used in the paper, and define

μ=(mμk)(mμ1).\mu^{\vee}=(m-\mu_k)\cdots(m-\mu_1).

Let Qm,n\mathrm{Q}_{m,n} be the rational shuffle operator, 11 the unit symmetric function, hμh_\mu the complete homogeneous symmetric function indexed by μ\mu, and  \langle\,\ \rangle the Hall scalar product. The switch-map scalar-product conjecture.

Qm,n(1),hμ=Qm,mkn(1),hμ.\langle \mathrm{Q}_{m,n}(1),h_\mu\rangle=\langle \mathrm{Q}_{m,mk-n}(1),h_{\mu^{\vee}}\rangle.

The paper derives the coprime case from the switch-map properties; the full statement for arbitrary positive m,nm,n is presented as a conjecture.
