Positive Hall–Littlewood expansion in the immaculate basis

Let λ\lambda be a partition, let Qλ\mathcal{Q}'_\lambda be the lifted Hall–Littlewood basis element indexed by λ\lambda, and let Sβ\mathfrak S_\beta denote the immaculate basis. For an immaculate tableau TT, write content(T)content(T) for its content and shape(T)shape(T) for its shape.

Hall–Littlewood immaculate positivity conjecture. The element Qλ\mathcal{Q}'_\lambda expands in the immaculate basis with coefficients that are positive polynomials in qq. More explicitly,

Qλ=Tqst(T)Sshape(T),\mathcal{Q}'_\lambda=\sum_T q^{st(T)}\mathfrak S_{shape(T)},

where stst is a statistic and the sum is over all immaculate tableaux of content λ\lambda.

This is proposed as an analogue of the positive Schur expansion of Hall–Littlewood functions. The statistic stst is not defined in the source, and the conjecture remains unresolved in the supplied text.
