The bijection between alcove covers and hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions
Let be any positive integer and let be an alcove in the hypersimplex . Let be the breadth-first search order of rooted at . For , define
to be the number of elements covered by . Bijection conjecture. The map is a bijection between
and the set of hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions of type with winding number . This would identify the breadth-first search structure of the alcove graph with the enumerative structure of hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions; the source does not provide resolution, so the claim remains open.
