The Ehrhart–Zeta duality conjecture for linear arbors
The Ehrhart–Zeta duality conjecture for linear arbors
Let be a linear arbor, meaning an arbor in which each vertex has at most one sub-tree. Let be its reverse, obtained by putting the vertices in the opposite order. Let be the associated polytope, its Ehrhart polynomial, and its associated poset with Zeta polynomial .
The Ehrhart–Zeta duality conjecture. For every linear arbor ,
The conjecture would identify the normalized volume of with the number of maximal chains of . The source presents this as open and notes a further expected h-vector symmetry under reversal.
