Pieri rules for Macdonald polynomials in superspace

Let PΛ(q,t)P_\Lambda^{(q,t)} be the Macdonald polynomial in superspace indexed by a superpartition Λ\Lambda, and let ene_n and e~n\tilde e_n denote the corresponding elementary symmetric functions. For superpartitions Λ\Lambda and Ω\Omega, let d(Ω/Λ)d(\Omega/\Lambda) be the integer defined from the word of labels associated with the skew diagram, and let ψΩ/Λ\psi'_{\Omega/\Lambda} and DetΩ/Λ\operatorname{Det}_{\Omega/\Lambda} be the factors from the Pieri coefficients, with

hΛ(q,t)(s)=1tΛ(s)qaΛ(s)+1,h(q,t)Λ(s)=1tΛ(s)+1qaΛ(s)h_\Lambda^{(q,t)}(s)=1-t^{\ell_{\Lambda^\circledast}(s)}q^{a_{\Lambda^*}(s)+1},\qquad h^\Lambda_{(q,t)}(s)=1-t^{\ell_{\Lambda^*}(s)+1}q^{a_{\Lambda^\circledast}(s)}

and

[x;y](q,t)=(t1)(q1/2q1/2)(t(xy)/2t(xy)/2)(q1/2t(xy)/2q1/2t(xy)/2).[x;y]_{(q,t)}=\frac{(t-1)(q^{1/2}-q^{-1/2})}{(t^{(x-y)/2}-t^{-(x-y)/2})(q^{1/2}t^{(x-y)/2}-q^{-1/2}t^{-(x-y)/2})}.

Macdonald superspace Pieri-rule conjecture. The Pieri rules are

enPΛ(q,t)=ΩvΛΩ(q,t)PΩ(q,t),e~nPΛ(q,t)=Ωv~ΛΩ(q,t)PΩ(q,t),e_nP_\Lambda^{(q,t)}=\sum_\Omega v_{\Lambda\Omega}(q,t)P_\Omega^{(q,t)},\qquad \tilde e_nP_\Lambda^{(q,t)}=\sum_\Omega \tilde v_{\Lambda\Omega}(q,t)P_\Omega^{(q,t)},

where the sums range over Ω\Omega such that Ω/Λ\Omega/\Lambda is respectively a vertical nn-strip or a vertical n~\tilde n-strip, and

v_{\Lambda\Omega}(q,t)=(-1)^{\\#(\Omega/\Lambda)}t^{d(\Omega/\Lambda)}\psi'_{\Omega/\Lambda}\operatorname{Det}_{\Omega/\Lambda},\qquad \tilde v_{\Lambda\Omega}(q,t)=(-1)^{\\#(\Omega/\Lambda)}t^{d(\Omega/\Lambda)}\psi'_{\Omega/\Lambda}\operatorname{Det}_{\Omega/\Lambda}.

The conjecture extends the Jack-polynomial Pieri rules to the two-parameter Macdonald setting in superspace; the stated coefficient factors are obtained by replacing the Jack hook and bracket quantities with their (q,t)(q,t) analogues. The supplied text gives no evidence of a proof or disproof, so its status remains open.
