The constant-term-one conjecture for F-polynomials

Fix an initial exchange matrix B0B^0, an initial vertex t0t_0, and a vertex tt. Let F;tB0;t0(y1,,yn)F_{\ell;t}^{B^0;t_0}(y_1,\dots,y_n) be the associated FF-polynomial of the cluster variable indexed by \ell. Constant-term-one conjecture. Every polynomial F;tB0;t0(y1,,yn)F_{\ell;t}^{B^0;t_0}(y_1,\dots,y_n) has constant term 11. This strengthens the proved fact that no yjy_j divides an FF-polynomial. The paper notes equivalent extremal-monomial formulations and proves the conjecture in additional special cases, but leaves it open in general.
