The concatenation conjecture for fermionic-degree-one Macdonald superpolynomials

Let Λ\Lambda be a concatenable superpartition, meaning that it has fermionic degree m=1m=1 and satisfies ΛmaΛ1s\Lambda^a_m\geq\Lambda^s_1. Let λ\lambda be the partition obtained from Λ\Lambda by removing the semicolon, so λ=(Λa,Λs)\lambda=(\Lambda^a,\Lambda^s). Define the linear map ϕ\phi on deformed Schur superpolynomials by

ϕ(SΩ)={Sμ,if Ω is concatenable and μ is its corresponding partition,0,otherwise.\phi(S_\Omega)= \begin{cases} S_\mu,&\text{if }\Omega\text{ is concatenable and }\mu\text{ is its corresponding partition},\\ 0,&\text{otherwise}. \end{cases}

Concatenation conjecture. One has

ϕ(JΛ)=Jλ.\phi(J_\Lambda)=J_\lambda.

This conjecture would recover ordinary Macdonald polynomials from the fermionic-degree-one superspace theory through concatenation. It is presented as the second new conjecture for the generalized Kostka coefficients, and remains unproved in the supplied text.
