The alternating ratio conjecture for singleton double descent counts
Let denote the number of permutations in the symmetric group on letters whose double descent set is . For with , the alternating ratio conjecture asserts
when is even, and
when is odd. This describes alternating monotonicity of successive ratios as the counts approach uniformity; it remains open.
