The Macdonald superpolynomial norm conjecture

Let Λ\Lambda be a superpartition of fermionic degree mm, and let PΛ(x,θ;q,t)P_\Lambda(x,\theta;q,t) be the Macdonald superpolynomial. Let BΛ\mathcal B\Lambda be the set of bosonic boxes, namely boxes whose row and column do not both end with a circle. Define

hΛ(q,t)=sBΛ(1qaΛ(s)tlΛ(s)+1),h^\downarrow_\Lambda(q,t)=\prod_{s\in\mathcal B\Lambda}\left(1-q^{a_{\Lambda^{\circledast}}(s)}t^{l_{\Lambda^*}(s)+1}\right),

and hΛ(q,t)=hΛ(t,q)h^\uparrow_\Lambda(q,t)=h^\downarrow_{\Lambda'}(t,q). Norm conjecture. The superspace scalar product satisfies

 ⁣PΛ(x,θ),PΛ(x,θ) ⁣q,t=(1)(m2)qΛahΛ(q,t)hΛ(q,t).\left\langle\!\left\langle P_\Lambda(x,\theta),P_\Lambda(x,\theta)\right\rangle\!\right\rangle_{q,t}=(-1)^{\binom m2}q^{|\Lambda^a|}\frac{h^\uparrow_\Lambda(q,t)}{h^\downarrow_\Lambda(q,t)}.

The paper proves this conjecture in the stable sector mnm\ge n, but explicitly retains its conjectural status in the non-stable sector.
