The polynomial semiring sum-product partition conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let N[x]\mathbb{N}[x] be the polynomial semiring with coefficients in N\mathbb{N}, and let N[x]=C0∪C1\mathbb{N}[x]=C_0\cup C_1 be a bipartition. The polynomial semiring conjecture. There exist i∈{0,1}i\in\{0,1\} and f,g∈N[x]f,g\in\mathbb{N}[x] such that

{f,g,f+g,fg}⊆Ci.\{f,g,f+g,fg\}\subseteq C_i.

This asks for a monochromatic additive-multiplicative configuration in the polynomial semiring, where the paper identifies N[x]\mathbb{N}[x] as an example not covered by its preceding subsemiring method; the source gives no resolution.
