The Steep-Bounce bijection conjecture

From papers

Fix integers nn and kk with knk\le n. A Dyck path is a lattice path of semilength nn from (0,0)(0,0) to (n,n)(n,n) that stays weakly on one side of its diagonal; a nested pair (π1,π2)(\pi_1,\pi_2) consists of Dyck paths of size nn with the prescribed nesting relation. A bounce path has kk parts, and a steep path has isolated east steps strictly below the top. Steep-Bounce conjecture. For any knk\le n, there is a bijection between nested pairs (π1,π2)(\pi_1,\pi_2) of Dyck paths of size nn such that π1\pi_1 is a bounce path with kk parts, and nested pairs (π1,π2)(\pi'_1,\pi'_2) of Dyck paths of size nn such that π2\pi'_2 is a steep path with nkn-k isolated east steps strictly below the top. This reformulates the refined pipe-dream and walk conjecture using the stated bijections with colored Dyck paths and nested pairs; the proposed bijection remains open in the source.
