The range conjecture for balancing probabilities in linear extensions
The range conjecture for balancing probabilities in linear extensions
Let be a finite poset. For , let and define the range parameter
For distinct , let , and set
where probabilities are taken over uniformly random linear extensions. The range conjecture. If , then . This is presented as an old conjecture of the second author and as a strengthening of the width-based Kahn–Saks conjecture. The supplied text does not state that it has been resolved.
