Reserved-set classification conjecture for multiple harmonic sums

About 23 years old · traced to

Let s∈Nl{\boldsymbol{s}}\in\mathbb N^l. Let RJ(s)RJ({\boldsymbol{s}}) be the reserved divisibility set, and let RJ1(s)RJ_1({\boldsymbol{s}}) and RJ2(s)RJ_2({\boldsymbol{s}}) denote the corresponding sets obtained from the first and second index ranges. Reserved-set classification conjecture. If (i) s=1{\boldsymbol{s}}=1, (ii) s=(1,2,1){\boldsymbol{s}}=(1,2,1), (iii) s=(2r−1,1){\boldsymbol{s}}=(2r-1,1) for some r≥1r\geq1, or (iv) s=12l{\boldsymbol{s}}=1^{2l} for some l≥1l\geq1, then

RJ(s)=RJ2(s).RJ({\boldsymbol{s}})=RJ_2({\boldsymbol{s}}).

For all other s{\boldsymbol{s}},

RJ(s)=RJ1(s).RJ({\boldsymbol{s}})=RJ_1({\boldsymbol{s}}).

The claim organizes which parts of the divisibility set contribute to the reserved set; the paper gives heuristic support but no general proof.
