Stanley's conjecture on symmetric P-partition enumerators

A labelled poset PP has a PP-partition enumerator FP(x)F_P({\mathbf{x}}), which is always quasisymmetric; a labelling is column-strict when it has the column-strict property used for labelled posets, and a skew Ferrers poset is the poset associated with a skew Ferrers diagram λ/μ\lambda/\mu. Stanley's conjecture. The function FP(x)F_P({\mathbf{x}}) is symmetric, and not merely quasisymmetric, if and only if PP is a column-strict labelling of some skew Ferrers poset λ/μ\lambda/\mu. This conjecture asks for a characterization of the labelled posets whose PP-partition enumerators are symmetric; it is attributed to Stanley's thesis and is presented in the source as an open question.
