The conjectured 123τ–321τ symmetry for alternating involutions

From papers

Let AIn(ρ)AI_n(\rho) denote the set of alternating involutions of length nn avoiding the pattern ρ\rho. Let τ\tau be any permutation of {4,,m}\{4,\ldots,m\}, where m4m\geq 4. The 123τ–321τ symmetry conjecture.

AIn(123τ)=AIn(321τ).|AI_n(123\tau)|=|AI_n(321\tau)|.

This asserts that replacing the initial pattern 123 by 321 preserves the avoidance enumeration for alternating involutions, for every permitted suffix pattern τ\tau. The supplied text gives no resolution beyond its presentation as a conjecture.
