The disjoint-cone conjecture for SL₂-plethysm generating functions

About 1 year old · traced to

The bivariate generating function is

Aμ(z,q)=∑k⩾1,h⩾0aμ[h][k]qkzh.A_\mu(z,q) = \sum_{k\geqslant 1, h\geqslant 0} a_{\mu[h]}^{[k]} q^k z^h.

A weighted lattice-point cone conjecture. The generating function Aμ(z,q)A_\mu(z,q) is a weighted generating function of lattice points of a disjoint union of convex rational half-open cones.

Positive expansions of Aμ(z,q)A_\mu(z,q) into sums of qq-Ehrhart series yield such interpretations for the computed examples, but Kahle and Michałek showed that this conjecture is false because it would violate Ehrhart reciprocity for closed polytopes.
