A statistic-preserving CTI–ITC bijection conjecture for sorted recurrent configurations
Let be the complete split graph, and let be the set of sorted recurrent configurations on . For a configuration , write for its height, and write and for the CTI and ITC weighted-toppling statistics. Statistic-preserving bijection conjecture. There exists a bijection
such that, for every ,
Such a bijection would explain the correspondence between the CTI and ITC polynomials directly in the sandpile model; the paper states that the authors expect such an explanation, but no bijection is currently known.
