The rational Shuffle Conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let m,nm,n be the parameters for rational parking functions, let Pm,nP_{m,n} be the degree-nn operator acting on symmetric functions, and let PF⁡m/n\operatorname{\mathcal{PF}}_{m/n} be the set of rational parking functions. For f∈PF⁡m/nf\in\operatorname{\mathcal{PF}}_{m/n}, let area⁡(f)\operatorname{area}(f) and dinv⁡(f)\operatorname{dinv}(f) be the corresponding rational statistics, and let Qides⁡(f)(z)Q_{\operatorname{ides}(f)}(z) be the Gessel fundamental quasisymmetric function indexed by the inverse diagonal-word descents.

The rational Shuffle Conjecture. The following equation holds:

Pm,n⋅1=∑f∈PF⁡m/nqarea⁡(f)tdinv⁡(f)⋅Qides⁡(f)(z).P_{m,n}\cdot 1=\sum_{f\in \operatorname{\mathcal{PF}}_{m/n}}q^{\operatorname{area}(f)}t^{\operatorname{dinv}(f)}\cdot Q_{\operatorname{ides}(f)}(z).

This is the rational analogue of the Shuffle Conjecture, extending the parking-function formula for diagonal coinvariants to rational parking functions. The statement is presented as a conjecture in the source, while its resolution status is not specified in the supplied material.
