Lv–Zhang joint equidistribution conjecture for mesh patterns P₁₁ and P₁₂

Let Sn\mathfrak{S}_n be the set of permutations of [n][n], and for a mesh pattern P\mathrm{P} let P(σ)\mathrm{P}(\sigma) denote the number of occurrences of P\mathrm{P} in σ\sigma. Lv–Zhang's conjecture. For n1n\geq 1 and any k,0k,\ell\geq 0,

{σSn:P11(σ)=k, P12(σ)=}={σSn:P12(σ)=k, P11(σ)=}.|\{\sigma\in\mathfrak{S}_n: \mathrm{P}_{11}(\sigma)=k,\ \mathrm{P}_{12}(\sigma)=\ell\}|=|\{\sigma\in\mathfrak{S}_n: \mathrm{P}_{12}(\sigma)=k,\ \mathrm{P}_{11}(\sigma)=\ell\}|.

The paper states that it resolves all seven Lv–Zhang joint equidistribution conjectures, so this equality is solved.
