Abstract
The -binomial coefficients , for integers , are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients. This readily follows from the -binomial theorem, or the many combinatorial interpretations of . In this note we conjecture an arithmetically motivated generalisation of the non-negativity property for products of ratios of -factorials that happen to be polynomials.
