An interesting, and still wide open, conjecture of Reiner and Stanton predicts that certain “strange” symmetric differences of q-binomial coefficients are always nonnegative and unimodal. We extend their conjecture to a broader, and perhaps more natural, framework, by conjecturing that, for each k≥5, the polynomials...
