Coefficient-positivity conjecture for the tau-deformed polynomials

Let π\pi be a matching, let d(π)d(\pi) be the degree parameter used in the source, and let Pπ(τ,t)P_\pi(\tau,t) be the associated bivariate polynomial. Tau-deformed coefficient-positivity conjecture. The bivariate polynomial

d(π)!Pπ(τ,t)d(\pi)!P_\pi(\tau,t)

has nonnegative integer coefficients. This is the tau-deformed analogue of coefficient positivity; the source presents it as conjectural and gives computational evidence, but no general proof.
