Leading-term conjecture for P-key polynomials

From papers

Let α\alpha be a skew-symmetric weak composition, let n=(α)n=\ell(\alpha), and let ρ~(α)\widetilde\rho(\alpha) and γ~(α)\widetilde\gamma(\alpha) denote its strict sub-diagonal row and column counts. Leading-term conjecture. If ρ~(α)γ~(α)\widetilde\rho(\alpha)\neq\widetilde\gamma(\alpha), then

καPxρ~(α)+xγ~(α)+ρ~(α)<lexδNnNxδ.\kappa^\mathsf{P}_\alpha\in x^{\widetilde\rho(\alpha)}+x^{\widetilde\gamma(\alpha)}+\sum_{\widetilde\rho(\alpha)<_{\mathrm{lex}}\delta\in\mathbb{N}^n}\mathbb{N}x^\delta.

This is presented as the symplectic analogue of the preceding Q-key conjecture and is supported by computations; no resolution is given.
