Transpose symmetry conjecture for generalized Kostka polynomials

About 28 years old · traced to

Let RR be a dominant sequence of rectangles, and let RtR^t be obtained by transposing every rectangle in RR. Let R′R' be a dominant rearrangement of RtR^t, and let mm be the total number of columns in the rectangles of RR. Transpose symmetry conjecture.

Kλt;R′(q)=K~λ;R(q),K_{\lambda^t;R'}(q)=\widetilde{K}_{\lambda;R}(q),

where the left-hand side is computed in GL(m)GL(m). This conjecture relates transposition of shapes and rectangles to the cocharge normalization; the source calls the property mysterious and notes that it is not evident from the defining modules.
