Positive key expansion conjecture for nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials

About 9 years old · traced to

Let α\alpha be a composition, let λ=sort⁡(α)\lambda=\operatorname{sort}(\alpha), and let γ(P,α)\gamma(P,\alpha) be a composition determined by α\alpha and PP that rearranges to the conjugate shape of PP. Write CoInvFree(α,w0)\mathrm{CoInvFree}(\alpha,w_0) for the coinversion-free fillings of shape α\alpha with decreasing basement w0w_0, and let Kγ(P,α)(x)\mathcal{K}_{\gamma(P,\alpha)}(\mathbf{x}) denote the corresponding key polynomial. Then

Positive key expansion conjecture.

Eα(x;q,0)=∑F∈CoInvFree(α,w0)qmaj⁡(F)xF=∑P∈SSYT(μ′,λ′)qcharge⁡(P)Kγ(P,α)(x).\mathrm{E}_\alpha(\mathbf{x};q,0)=\sum_{F\in\mathrm{CoInvFree}(\alpha,w_0)}q^{\operatorname{maj}(F)}\mathbf{x}^F=\sum_{P\in\mathrm{SSYT}(\mu',\lambda')}q^{\operatorname{charge}(P)}\mathcal{K}_{\gamma(P,\alpha)}(\mathbf{x}).

In particular, if SQS_Q is the subset of fillings in CoInvFree(α,w0)\mathrm{CoInvFree}(\alpha,w_0) with recording tableau Q∈SSYT(μ′,λ′)Q\in\mathrm{SSYT}(\mu',\lambda'), then ∑F∈SQxF\sum_{F\in S_Q}\mathbf{x}^F is a key polynomial. This conjecturally extends the preceding partition-case charge formula to compositions and gives a positive key-polynomial expansion in the nonsymmetric setting.
