Macdonald superpolynomial Hall–Littlewood positivity conjecture

From papers

Let PΛ(x,θ;q,t)P_\Lambda(x,\theta;q,t) be the Macdonald superpolynomials indexed by superpartitions, and let sΛ(x,θ)s_\Lambda(x,\theta) and sˉΛ(x,θ)\bar s_\Lambda(x,\theta) be the two Schur-superpolynomial limits. Define coefficients by

sΛ=ΩΛKˉΛΩmΩ,sˉΛ=ΩΛKΛΩmΩ.s_\Lambda=\sum_{\Omega\leq\Lambda}\bar K_{\Lambda\Omega}m_\Omega,\qquad \bar s_\Lambda=\sum_{\Omega\leq\Lambda}K_{\Lambda\Omega}m_\Omega.

Hall–Littlewood positivity conjecture. The coefficients KΛΩ(t)K_{\Lambda\Omega}(t) and KˉΛΩ(t)\bar K_{\Lambda\Omega}(t) defined by

sΛ=ΩΛKˉΛΩ(t)PΩ(t),sˉΛ=ΩΛKΛΩ(t)PˉΩ(1/t)s_\Lambda=\sum_{\Omega\leq\Lambda}\bar K_{\Lambda\Omega}(t)P_\Omega(t),\qquad \bar s_\Lambda=\sum_{\Omega\leq\Lambda}K_{\Lambda\Omega}(t)\bar P_\Omega(1/t)

are polynomials in tt with nonnegative integer coefficients. Moreover, KˉΛΩ(1)=KˉΛΩ\bar K_{\Lambda\Omega}(1)=\bar K_{\Lambda\Omega} and KΛΩ(1)=KΛΩK_{\Lambda\Omega}(1)=K_{\Lambda\Omega}. The conjecture proposes a positive change-of-basis theory between Schur and Hall–Littlewood superpolynomials, extending the ordinary theory to superspace.
