Lassalle's Kerov–Lassalle positivity conjecture for cumulants

About 10 years old · traced to

Let cgamma=−δcgamma=-\delta, let cR2,cR3,⋯cR_2,cR_3,\cdots be the free cumulants, and let ckappa∙ckappa_{\bullet} denote the cumulants of Jack characters. For positive integers k1,⋯ ,kℓk_1,\cdots,k_\ell, consider the signed cumulant

(−1)ℓ−1κ∙(Ch⁡k1,…,Ch⁡kℓ).(-1)^{\ell-1}\kappa_{\bullet}(\operatorname{Ch}_{k_1},\dots,\operatorname{Ch}_{k_\ell}).

Kerov–Lassalle cumulant-positivity conjecture. For all integers k1,…,kℓ≥1k_1,\dots,k_\ell\geq 1, the polynomial which expresses this signed cumulant in terms of cgamma,R2,R3,…cgamma,\mathcal{R}_2,\mathcal{R}_3,\dots has non-negative integer coefficients. This extends the single-character Kerov–Lassalle positivity conjecture to cumulants; explicit examples support it, but the source does not give a resolution.
