The Fomin–Zelevinsky enumerator relation for antichains

About 22 years old · traced to

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

H(x,y)=∑k,ℓhk,ℓxkyℓ,H(x,y)=\sum_{k,\ell}h_{k,\ell}x^k y^\ell,

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

H(x,y)=(1−x)nF(x1−x,xy1−x).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.
