The Duval–Reiner conjecture for family-pair Laplacian spectra

From papers

Let (K,K)(\mathcal K,\mathcal K') be a family pair, with relative Laplacian spectrum s(K,K)\mathbf{s}(\mathcal K,\mathcal K') and transposed relative generalized degree sequence d(K,K)T\mathbf{d}(\mathcal K,\mathcal K')^T. Family-pair majorization conjecture.

s(K,K)d(K,K)T.\mathbf{s}(\mathcal K,\mathcal K')\trianglelefteq\mathbf{d}(\mathcal K,\mathcal K')^T.

This extends the Grone–Merris and Duval–Reiner majorization conjectures from families to family pairs. The text says it is based on only a few examples and does not state a resolution.
