Proofs of four generating function conjectures for arbor polytopes

Abstract

This paper proves four conjectured generating series, due to Chapoton, which concern invariants of posets and polytopes associated with a specific sequence of arbors. Two of these conjectures provide closed-form formulas for the generating series of the Zeta polynomial and the generating series of the M-triangle of the poset, respectively. The remaining two conjectures pertain, respectively, to the Ehrhart polynomial and the Laplace transform of the volume function of the associated arbor polytope.
