The complete bipartite and 4-partite Speyer polynomial formulas

From papers

For n3n\geq3, let K3,n=K3KnK_{3,n}=\overline{K}_3\vee\overline{K}_n and K1,1,1,nK3KnK_{1,1,1,n}\cong K_3\vee\overline{K}_n.

Complete multipartite formula conjecture. Their Speyer polynomials are

gK3,n(t)=t(nt2+nt+t+2)(2+t)n13t(1+t)n+1g_{K_{3,n}}(t)=t(nt^2+nt+t+2)(2+t)^{n-1}-3t(1+t)^{n+1}

and

gK1,1,1,n(t)=t(nt2+nt+t+2)(2+t)n1.g_{K_{1,1,1,n}}(t)=t(nt^2+nt+t+2)(2+t)^{n-1}.

These formulas imply the quadratic growth N2(K3,n)=N2(K1,1,1,n)=n(n3)/2\mathsf{N}_2(K_{3,n})=\mathsf{N}_2(K_{1,1,1,n})=-n(n-3)/2 and are supported by the computations in the paper.
