The even zigzag-poset LE-symmetry conjecture

About 3 years old · traced to

For even nn, let ZnZ_n be the poset on nn elements with relations

v1<v2>v3<v4>…>vn−3<vn−2>vn−1<vn.v_1 < v_2 > v_3 < v_4 > \ldots > v_{n-3} < v_{n-2} > v_{n-1} < v_n.

A poset is LE-symmetric when its Bender–Knuth group acts as the full symmetric group on its set of linear extensions. The even zigzag-poset LE-symmetry conjecture. The zigzag-poset ZnZ_n is LE-symmetric when nn is even. This is computationally verified for all even n≤10n\leq 10, while odd cases such as Z5Z_5, Z7Z_7, and Z9Z_9 provide counterexamples; the even case remains open.
