Elgin–Reading–Stella's conjectures on cluster scattering wall-function coefficients

Let bb and cc be positive integers, and let τ(i,j)\tau(i,j) denote the coefficient of x1ibx2jcx_1^{ib}x_2^{jc} in the wall-function on the ray R0(db,ec)\mathbb{R}_{\leq 0}(db,ec) of the cluster scattering diagram D(b,c)\mathfrak{D}_{(b,c)}, where dd and ee are coprime positive integers and (i,j)=(kd,ke)(i,j)=(kd,ke) for some k1k\geq 1. For the further coefficients τ(i,j;k)\tau(i,j;k) and τb,b(i,j)\tau^{b,b}(i,j), use the notation of the source. Let

g=gcd(ib,jc)gcd(i,j).g=\frac{\gcd(ib,jc)}{\gcd(i,j)}.

Elgin–Reading–Stella's conjectures. For i,j>0i,j>0, the coefficient τ(i,j)\tau(i,j) satisfies all of the following: it is a polynomial in bb, cc, and gg; this polynomial has gg as a factor and degree gcd(i,j)\gcd(i,j) in gg, degree j1j-1 in bb, and degree i1i-1 in cc; (max(i,j))!τ(i,j)(\max(i,j))!\tau(i,j) has integer coefficients; the formulas C5–C10 in the source hold; τb,b(i,j)\tau^{b,b}(i,j) is a polynomial in bb of degree i+j1i+j-1 with a positive binomial-basis expansion and unimodal log-concave coefficients; the formula C13 holds; and the factorization and polynomiality assertions C14–C18 hold exactly as stated in the source. These include, when applicable, the formulas

τ(1,j)=gb(bj),τ(i,1)=gc(ci),\tau(1,j)=\frac{g}{b}\binom{b}{j},\qquad \tau(i,1)=\frac{g}{c}\binom{c}{i},

and the diagonal formulas C7 and C8. These conjectures concern the dependence of cluster-scattering wall-function coefficients on bb and cc. The paper confirms many of the predictions using quiver representations and tight gradings, while the full collection is not established.
