One-modulus formula for refined tree coefficients

About 1 year old · traced to

Let γ=(γ1,…,γn)\boldsymbol\gamma=(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n) be an ordered collection of charges, let γ^\hat{\boldsymbol\gamma} denote the corresponding hatted charge data, and let Zn−1\mathscr{Z}_{n-1} index the n−1n-1 possible adjacent combinations. Define

Gn(γ^;τ2,β)=Φ^n−1M({vℓ};2τ2(q+βθ),2τ2 βθ).\mathscr{G}_n(\hat{\boldsymbol\gamma};\tau_2,\beta)=\hat\Phi^M_{n-1}(\{\boldsymbol v_{\ell}\};\sqrt{2\tau_2}(\boldsymbol q+\beta\boldsymbol\theta),\sqrt{2\tau_2}\,\beta\boldsymbol\theta).

In the one-modulus case, the functions Rnref\mathscr{R}^{\rm ref}_n determining the coefficients are given by

Rnref(γ^;τ2,β)=12n−1∑J⊆Zn−1b∣J∣ δJ Gn−∣J∣(γ^J;τ2,β),\mathscr{R}^{\rm ref}_n(\hat{\boldsymbol\gamma};\tau_2,\beta)=\frac{1}{2^{n-1}}\sum_{\mathcal J\subseteq\mathscr{Z}_{n-1}}b_{|\mathcal J|}\,\delta_{\mathcal J}\,\mathscr{G}_{n-|\mathcal J|}(\hat{\boldsymbol\gamma}_{\mathcal J};\tau_2,\beta),

where bnb_n are the Taylor coefficients of tanh⁡(x)/x\tanh(x)/x, bn−2=2n(2n−1)n!Bnb_{n-2}=\frac{2^n(2^n-1)}{n!}B_n, δJ=∏k∈JδΓk\delta_{\mathcal J}=\prod_{k\in\mathcal J}\delta_{\Gamma_k}, and Γk=∑i=1k∑j=k+1nγij\Gamma_k=\sum_{i=1}^k\sum_{j=k+1}^n\gamma_{ij}. The datum γ^J\hat{\boldsymbol\gamma}_{\mathcal J} is obtained by combining each γ^i\hat\gamma_i with the next charge for i∈Ji\in\mathcal J. One-modulus refined-coefficient conjecture. In the one-modulus case, the functions Rnref\mathscr{R}^{\rm ref}_n are given by the displayed finite sum with the coefficients and Kronecker-delta factors specified above. The observation motivating this formula is that, for n=3n=3 and 44, the sum over Schröder trees undergoes a large cancellation, leaving only this type of term. The claim is supported in those cases by the stated cancellation, but its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
