The fermionic-form identity between M and N

At least 27 years old · documented by

Let WW be the tensor product of finite-dimensional modules used to define the fermionic forms M(W,λ,q)M(W,\lambda,q), Ml(W,q)M_l(W,q), and Nl(W,λ,q)N_l(W,\lambda,q), and let N∞N_\infty denote the limit form. For λ∈P‾+\lambda\in\overline{P}^+, consider the two forms M(W,λ,q)M(W,\lambda,q) and N∞(W,λ,q)N_\infty(W,\lambda,q).

M=N conjecture. The computer experiments suggest

M(W,λ,q)=N∞(W,λ,q)for λ∈P‾+,M(W,\lambda,q)=N_\infty(W,\lambda,q)\quad\text{for }\lambda\in\overline{P}^+,

and

Ml(W,q)=Nl(W,0,q).M_l(W,q)=N_l(W,0,q).

These identities relate fermionic forms based on different qq-binomial conventions; the source presents them as experimental conjectures and gives no proof or resolution.
