The incomparability conjecture for multigraded Frobenius series of coinvariant rings

From papers

For fixed nn and nonnegative integers k,jk,j, let Rn(k,j)R_n^{(k,j)} be the corresponding multigraded coinvariant ring, and write

Frob(Rn(k,j);q;u)=λP(k,j,n)μncλμsλ(q/u)sμ(z).\operatorname{Frob}(R_n^{(k,j)}; \mathbf{q};\mathbf{u}) = \sum_{\lambda \in P(k,j,n)}\sum_{\mu \vdash n} c_{\lambda\mu} s_\lambda(\mathbf{q}/\mathbf{u})s_\mu(\mathbf{z}).

For 0kk0\leq k'\leq k and 0jj0\leq j'\leq j, restriction determines the coefficients needed for Rn(k,j)R_n^{(k',j')}. Two pairs are incomparable in the componentwise order when neither is componentwise at most the other. The incomparability conjecture. When (k,j)(k,j) and (k,j)(k',j') are incomparable in the componentwise order, the expansion of the multigraded Frobenius series of Rn(k,j)R_n^{(k',j')} contains nonzero coefficients cλμc_{\lambda\mu} that are not determined by the expansion of the multigraded Frobenius series of Rn(k,j)R_n^{(k,j)}. This conjecture asserts that incomparable parameter pairs contain genuinely independent Frobenius data; whether this always occurs remains open.
