The type B hypersimplex reciprocity conjecture

For n3n\geq 3, let ΨBn(t)\Psi_{B_n}(t) denote the Ehrhart hh^*-polynomial of the type BnB_n hypersimplex, and let EDn(t)E_{D_n}(t) denote the type DnD_n Eulerian polynomial. Type B reciprocity conjecture.

ΨBn(t)+tnΨBn(t1)=2EDn(t).\Psi_{B_n}(t)+t^n\Psi_{B_n}(t^{-1})=2E_{D_n}(t).

The identity is motivated by computational evidence and proposes a relationship between the type BB hypersimplex hh^*-polynomial and the type DD Eulerian polynomial; its general validity remains open.
