The q,tq,t-dihedral sieving conjecture for cluster parking functions

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let Dih⁡n+2\operatorname{Dih}_{n+2} act on the diagonal coinvariants A/IA/I, and let Δ\varDelta denote their bigraded character as a character of Sn\mathfrak{S}_n polynomially depending on qq and tt. Let Λ\Lambda be the character of Dih⁡n+2×Sn\operatorname{Dih}_{n+2}\times\mathfrak{S}_n on H~n−2(CPF⁡n)\tilde H_{n-2}(\operatorname{CPF}_n), and let Σ\Sigma be the specified sign character of Dih⁡n+2\operatorname{Dih}_{n+2} extended to the product. For F∈Dih⁡n+2\mathbf{F}\in\operatorname{Dih}_{n+2}, write λ1,λ2\lambda_1,\lambda_2 for the eigenvalues of the defining representation ρ1(F)∈O(R2)\rho_1(\mathbf{F})\in O(\mathbb{R}^2).

The q,tq,t-dihedral sieving conjecture. For every F∈Dih⁡n+2\mathbf{F}\in\operatorname{Dih}_{n+2} and σ∈Sn\sigma\in\mathfrak{S}_n,

(ΛΣ)(F,σ)=Δ(σ)∣q=λ1, t=λ2.(\Lambda\Sigma)(\mathbf{F},\sigma)=\left.\varDelta(\sigma)\right\vert_{q=\lambda_1,\ t=\lambda_2}.

This is the q,tq,t-symmetric-function formulation of the preceding character identity and is intended as a homological dihedral sieving phenomenon. The supplied text says that its extension beyond symmetric groups is difficult because a sufficiently developed q,tq,t-combinatorics is lacking.
