The rise-decorated rectangular shuffle conjecture

From papers

For m,nNm,n\in\mathbb{N}, let em,ne_{m,n} be the rectangular symmetric function, let Θek\Theta_{e_k} be the theta operator indexed by eke_k, and let LRD(m+k,n+k)k\mathsf{LRD}(m+k,n+k)^{\ast k} denote rise-decorated labeled rectangular Dyck paths of size (m+k)×(n+k)(m+k)\times(n+k). Rise-decorated rectangular shuffle conjecture.

Θekem,nq=1=πLRD(m+k,n+k)ktarea(π)xπ.\left.\Theta_{e_k}e_{m,n}\right\rvert_{q=1}=\sum_{\pi\in\mathsf{LRD}(m+k,n+k)^{\ast k}}t^{\mathsf{area}(\pi)}x^\pi.

The conjecture is attributed to Iraci, Pagaria, Paolini and Vanden Wyngaerd. The problem of finding a dinv\mathsf{dinv} statistic for rise-decorated paths remains open.
