The Lorentzian conjecture for normalized homogeneous Grothendieck polynomials

Let wSnw\in\mathcal{S}_n be a permutation, let (w)\ell(w) and d(w)d(w) denote the degrees specified in the source, and define the homogeneous Grothendieck polynomial

G~w(x1,,xn,z)=k=0d(w)(w)(1)kGwk(x1,,xn)zd(w)(w)k.\widetilde{\mathfrak{G}}_w(x_1,\ldots,x_n,z)=\sum_{k=0}^{d(w)-\ell(w)}(-1)^k\mathfrak{G}^k_w(x_1,\ldots,x_n)z^{d(w)-\ell(w)-k}.

Homogeneous-Grothendieck conjecture. The normalized polynomial

N(G~w(x1,,xn,z))\mathrm{N}(\widetilde{\mathfrak{G}}_w(x_1,\ldots,x_n,z))

is Lorentzian for every wSnw\in\mathcal{S}_n. The source reports tests for small symmetric groups and notes that this conjecture would imply the homogeneous-component conjecture; the general assertion remains open.
