Poset-type conjecture for quadratic multiplicities of key-polynomial generating series

Let ww be a permutation, let kk and ll be positive integers, and let Al(w)A_l(w) and Ak(w)A_k(w) be the sets of bounded increasing sequences associated with ww. For a multi-set η\eta, write mηk,l(w)m^{k,l}_{\eta}(w) for its multiplicity, and partially order the set of presentations α+β=η\alpha+\beta=\eta with αAl(w)\alpha\in A_l(w) and βAk(w)\beta\in A_k(w) as described in the paper.

Poset-type conjecture. The multiplicity mηk,l(w)m^{k,l}_{\eta}(w) depends only on the poset type of the set of sums α+β=η\alpha+\beta=\eta, with αAl(w)\alpha\in A_l(w) and βAk(w)\beta\in A_k(w). Moreover, when one poset can be embedded into another, the associated multiplicity either remains the same or increases.

This extends the results known for r2r\leq2 to all values of rr and predicts that the quadratic multiplicities are governed solely by the combinatorial type of their presentation posets. The conjecture is posed after checking additional cases; no resolution is supplied in the source.
