Lorentzianity conjecture for chromatic symmetric functions of Dyck paths

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let dd be a Dyck path, let G(d)G(d) be its indifference graph, and let XG(d)X_{G(d)} be its chromatic symmetric function. For any finite number of variables, restrict XG(d)X_{G(d)} to those variables. Lorentzianity conjecture. The resulting polynomial is Lorentzian. The conjecture was verified in the source for abelian Dyck paths and computationally for all Dyck paths of length n≤7n\leq 7 with at most 88 variables; it remains open in general.
