Positivity conjecture for cumulant coefficients of Jack characters

About 10 years old · traced to

Let cpi1,⋯ ,cpiℓcpi_1,\cdots,cpi_\ell be partitions, and define their Jack-character cumulant expansion by

κ∙(Ch⁡π1,…,Ch⁡πℓ)=∑σdπ1,…,πℓσ(δ)Ch⁡σ.\kappa_{\bullet}(\operatorname{Ch}_{\pi_1},\dots,\operatorname{Ch}_{\pi_\ell})=\sum_\sigma d^\sigma_{\pi_1,\dots,\pi_\ell}(\delta)\operatorname{Ch}_\sigma.

Cumulant-coefficient positivity conjecture. For partitions cpi1,…,cpiℓcpi_1,\dots,cpi_\ell, the polynomial (−1)ℓ−1dπ1,…,πℓσ(cdelta)(-1)^{\ell-1}d^\sigma_{\pi_1,\dots,\pi_\ell}(cdelta) has non-negative integer coefficients. This generalizes the structure-coefficient positivity conjecture, which is the case cell=2cell=2 in the formulation discussed by the source; no resolution is stated.
