Behrend–Fischer–Koutschan symmetry conjecture for off-diagonally symmetric ASMs
Let denote the set of off-diagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices of order . For , let be the number of nonzero strictly upper-triangular entries and let be the column containing the in the first row. Define
Behrend–Fischer–Koutschan symmetry conjecture. Given , for any and , we have
This conjecture asserts a reflection symmetry in the refined enumeration of off-diagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices according to the number of nonzero strictly upper-triangular entries and the position of the first-row . Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
