Persistence of divots in missing-difference distributions

About 6 years old · traced to

Let PnH(k)P_n^{\mathrm{H}}(k) denote the probability distribution associated with the relevant diffset statistic, and call kk a divot of this distribution when it is a local depression. Let n1n_1 be a positive integer.

Divot persistence conjecture. If kk is a divot of Pn1HP_{n_1}^{\mathrm{H}}, then kk is also a divot of PnHP_n^{\mathrm{H}} for every n>n1n>n_1.

This conjecture asserts that once a divot appears, its location never changes as nn increases. The source gives no resolution status.
