Kohl–Olsen levelness conjecture for lecture hall simplices

About 8 years old · traced to

Let s∈Z≥1n{\boldsymbol s}\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}^n be a sequence. Suppose there exists c∈Zn{\boldsymbol c}\in\mathbb{Z}^n such that

cjsj−1=cj−1sj+gcd⁡(sj−1,sj)c_js_{j-1}=c_{j-1}s_j+\gcd(s_{j-1},s_j)

for every j>1j>1, with c1=1c_1=1. Kohl–Olsen's levelness conjecture. The s{\boldsymbol s}-lecture hall simplex Pn(s)\mathbf{P}_n^{({\boldsymbol s})} is level. The conjecture supplies a sufficient condition for levelness; the source gives no resolution and discusses the difficulty of finding practical characterizations.
