Pinnacle-set refinement of gamma-positivity for inverse descent polynomials

From papers

For n1n\geq1 and S[n]S\subseteq[n], let Pin(π)\operatorname{Pin}(\pi) be the set of values at peak positions of πSn\pi\in\mathfrak{S}_n, and define

A^n,Sides(t)=πSnPin(π)=Stides(π)+1.\hat{A}_{n,S}^{\operatorname{ides}}(t)=\sum_{\substack{\pi\in\mathfrak{S}_n\\\\ \operatorname{Pin}(\pi)=S}}t^{\operatorname{ides}(\pi)+1}.

A polynomial is γ\gamma-positive with center of symmetry (n+1)/2(n+1)/2 if its gamma-basis coefficients relative to that center are nonnegative. Pinnacle-set gamma-positivity conjecture. For all n1n\geq1 and S[n]S\subseteq[n], the polynomial A^n,Sides(t)\hat{A}_{n,S}^{\operatorname{ides}}(t) is γ\gamma-positive with center of symmetry (n+1)/2(n+1)/2. This is a refinement of the peak-number version by fixing the entire pinnacle set.
