The Fomin–Zelevinsky enumerator relation for antichains

Let Φ\Phi be a finite root system of rank nn. Define

H(x,y)=k,hk,xky,H(x,y)=\sum_{k,\ell}h_{k,\ell}x^k y^\ell,

where hk,h_{k,\ell} counts antichains of cardinality kk containing \ell simple roots. Let F(x,y)=k=0n=0nfk,xkyF(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\sum_{\ell=0}^{n}f_{k,\ell}x^k y^\ell, where fk,f_{k,\ell} counts the simplices of the generalized associahedral complex having exactly kk positive-root vertices and \ell negative-simple-root vertices. Enumerative relation conjecture. One should have

H(x,y)=(1x)nF(x1x,xy1x).H(x,y)=(1-x)^n F\left(\frac{x}{1-x},\frac{xy}{1-x}\right).

The relation would connect the two-parameter antichain enumerator with the face enumerator of the generalized associahedron. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
