Toric promotion order conjecture for path graphs

About 5 years old · traced to

Let GG) be a path graph with nn vertices, and for 1≤h≤⌊n/2⌋1\leq h\leq \left\lfloor n/2\right\rfloor let ζ(h)=12⋯(n−h)n(n−1)⋯(n−h+1)\zeta^{(h)}=12\cdots(n-h)n(n-1)\cdots(n-h+1). For a permutation π=π1⋯πn∈Sn\pi=\pi_1\cdots\pi_n\in S_n, write

TPro⁡π=τπnτπn−1⋯τπ1 ⁣:ΛG→ΛG.\operatorname{TPro}_\pi=\tau_{\pi_n}\tau_{\pi_{n-1}}\cdots\tau_{\pi_1}\colon\Lambda_G\to\Lambda_G.

Toric promotion order conjecture. If GG is a path graph with nn vertices and 1≤h≤⌊n/2⌋1\leq h\leq \left\lfloor n/2\right\rfloor, then the operator TPro⁡ζ(h) ⁣:ΛG→ΛG\operatorname{TPro}_{\zeta^{(h)}}\colon\Lambda_G\to\Lambda_G has order h(n−h)h(n-h). This generalizes the known h=1h=1 case, which follows from the forest theorem mentioned in the source. The conjecture concerns the orbit structure of toric promotion operators for path graphs.
