Block-factor denominator

Determine which intervening block weights contribute factors to the reduced denominator of F_ω(t) for every anchored composition ω, and prove that the denominator is a product of factors Φ_{B_j}(t) selected from those block weights, with the resulting Euler-characteristic support eventually a finite union of arithmetic progressions.

Background

For many anchored compositions, the enumerator has a denominator given by a single factor associated with a block weight. Other examples have multiple factors and multiple arithmetic progressions of nonzero Euler characteristics.

The conjecture proposes a general denominator shape, but the rule selecting the contributing block weights is explicitly unresolved. Repeated poles would explain polynomial growth of the Euler characteristics.

References

The rule selecting the factors remains unknown.
