Maximal-minus-minimal homomesy conjecture for products of two chains

About 3 years old · traced to

Let P=[m]×[n]P=[m]\times[n] be the product of two chains, and let IC(P)\mathcal{IC}(P) denote its interval-closed sets. Rowmotion acts on IC(P)\mathcal{IC}(P). For an interval-closed set, consider the statistic given by the number of maximal elements minus the number of minimal elements. A statistic is 00-mesic if its average over every rowmotion orbit is zero.

Maximal-minus-minimal homomesy conjecture. The number of maximal elements minus the number of minimal elements is 00-mesic under rowmotion on IC(P)\mathcal{IC}(P) for P=[m]×[n]P=[m]\times[n].

The conjecture was tested on all products of two chains with m+n≤12m+n\leq 12. The paper notes that the analogous statistic is not homomesic for the products [2]×[2]×[5][2]\times[2]\times[5] and [2]×[2]×[2]×[2][2]\times[2]\times[2]\times[2], while the conjecture for two chains remains open.
