The cover enumerator conjecture for type-B parabolic Tamari lattices

About 5 years old · traced to

Let t>0t>0 and let α=(t,1,1,…,1)\alpha=(t,1,1,\ldots,1) be a type-BB composition of nn. Define the cover enumerator

cα(x)=∑π∈Hα(231)x∣Cov⁡(π)∣.c_{\alpha}(x)=\sum_{\pi\in\mathfrak{H}_{\alpha}(231)}x^{\lvert\operatorname{Cov}(\pi)\rvert}.

Cover enumerator conjecture.

cα(x)=∑k=0n−t(n−tk)(n+tk)xk.c_{\alpha}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n-t}\binom{n-t}{k}\binom{n+t}{k}x^k.

Consequently,

∣Hα(231)∣=(2nn−t).\left\lvert\mathfrak{H}_{\alpha}(231)\right\rvert=\binom{2n}{n-t}.

This is proposed from computer experiments as an enumerative formula for the type-BB parabolic Tamari lattice associated with α\alpha; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
