The Theta Conjecture for fully tiered rooted trees

Let u u be a composition, let u(u) u( u) denote the partition obtained by rearranging its parts, and let RTT(ν) \mathsf{RTT}(\nu) be the set of fully tiered rooted trees associated with u u, with inv(T) \mathsf{inv}(T) their inversion statistic and xTx^T their monomial weight. \Theta Conjecture. For any composition u u,

Θeν(ν)e1t=1=TRTT(ν)qinv(T)xT.\left. \Theta_{e_{\nu(\nu)}} e_1 \right\rvert_{t=1} = \sum_{T \in \mathsf{RTT}(\nu)} q^{\mathsf{inv}(T)} x^T.

The conjecture would imply that the tree expansion on the right is independent of the order of the parts of u u, and it has been checked by computer for ν7|\nu|\leq 7. Equality of the Hilbert series is known, but the full symmetric-function identity remains open.
