Shift-invariance conjecture for stochastic colored vertex-model probabilities

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer, let α,δ[1,n]\alpha,\delta\in[1,n], and let wSnw\in S_n. Set β:=w1(δ)\beta:=w^{-1}(\delta). For indices α,δ\alpha,\delta, let γ:=w(α)\gamma:=w(\alpha); the pair α,β\\{\alpha,\beta\\} is an inversion of ww if either α<β\alpha<\beta and γ>δ\gamma>\delta, or α>β\alpha>\beta and γ<δ\gamma<\delta. For any sets H\mathcal{H} and V\mathcal{V}, write PH,V(x,y)\mathbf{P}^{\mathcal{H},\mathcal{V}}(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}) for the corresponding probabilities in the stochastic colored vertex model, with the displayed boundary configurations determining the events.

Shift-invariance conjecture. If α,β\\{\alpha,\beta\\} is not an inversion of ww, then the three probability ratios satisfy

Here zαzβz_\alpha\leftrightarrow z_\beta denotes exchanging the two spectral parameters.

The conjecture concerns shift-invariance identities for probabilities associated with the distribution YwY^w; it was verified computationally for n6n\leq 6. The supplied text also gives a counterexample when α,β\\{\alpha,\beta\\} is an inversion, so the conjecture as stated is refuted.
