Loehr–Warrington rational parking-function Frobenius conjectures

From papers

Let PFa,b(q,t)\mathsf{PF}_{a,b}(q,t) be the symmetric function defined from rational parking functions, and let Scha,b;k(q,t){\sf Sch}_{a,b;k}(q,t) denote the coefficient of s(k+1,1ak1)s_{(k+1,1^{a-k-1})} in it. Rational parking-function Frobenius conjectures. The following properties are conjectured:

  1. PFa,b(q,t)=PFa,b(t,q)\mathsf{PF}_{a,b}(q,t)=\mathsf{PF}_{a,b}(t,q).
  2. q(a1)(b1)/2PFa,b(q,1/q),h(1a)=[b]qa1\langle q^{(a-1)(b-1)/2}\mathsf{PF}_{a,b}(q,1/q),h_{(1^a)}\rangle=[b]_q^{a-1}.
  3. For the hook coefficient,
q(2akkk2+baa2b+1)/2Scha,b;k(q,1/q)=1[b]q[a1k]q[b+ka]q.q^{(2ak-k-k^2+ba-a^2-b+1)/2}{\sf Sch}_{a,b;k}(q,1/q)=\frac{1}{[b]_q}\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{a-1}{k}_q\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{b+k}{a}_q.

These conjectures seek symmetry and specializations for the rational parking-function Frobenius series; the source presents them as conjectural and gives no resolution.
