Jack fundamental quasisymmetric expansion conjecture

Let nn be a positive integer, let μ\mu be a partition of size nn, let SnS_n be the symmetric group, and let QA(x)Q_A(x) denote the fundamental quasisymmetric function indexed by a set A{1,,n1}A\subseteq\{1,\ldots,n-1\}. Let des(π)des(\pi) denote the number of descents of πSn\pi\in S_n. Jack quasisymmetric expansion conjecture. There exists a set-valued function σ\sigma depending on π\pi, τ\tau, and μ\mu, with image in {1,,n1}\{1,\ldots,n-1\}, such that

J~μ(α)(X)=π,τSn(α+n1des(π)n)Qσ(π,τ,μ)(x).\tilde{J}_\mu^{(\alpha)}(X)=\sum_{\pi,\tau\in S_n}{\alpha+n-1-des(\pi)\choose n}Q_{\sigma(\pi,\tau,\mu)}(x).

The conjecture generalizes the known expansions for μ=(n)\mu=(n) and μ=(1n)\mu=(1^n); the source also explains that, assuming Schur positivity in this basis, existence of some such σ\sigma follows, but an explicit construction remains unavailable in general.
