Strong synchronisation of alternating-group descent enumerators
Let be the alternating group in , and let and denote the numbers of permutations with descents in and , respectively. Two sequences are strongly synchronised when each corresponding pair of terms satisfies the synchronisation inequalities defining this relation.
Strong-synchronisation conjecture. For every positive integer , the sequences and are strongly synchronised.
This conjecture would imply log-concavity of both descent enumerator sequences. The surrounding discussion also relates it to conjectures on real-rootedness of the alternating-group descent polynomials, but no resolution is supplied here.
