The flip-symmetric alternating sign matrix generating-function conjecture

About 26 years old · traced to

Let Fn(x)F_n(x) be the weight-generating function for flip-symmetric alternating sign matrices, with the exponent recording the number of −1-1 entries in the first half of the columns. This symmetry class is empty unless the size is odd. Let Tn(x,1)T_n(x,1) be the triangular-array generating function defined in the source. Flip-symmetric generating-function conjecture. It is conjectured that

F2n+1(x)=Tn(x,1).F_{2n+1}(x)=T_n(x,1).

This proposes a refined enumeration of flip-symmetric alternating sign matrices by triangular arrays. The source gives no resolution status.
