Alexandersson–Panova unimodality conjecture for LLT polynomial coefficients

Let GG be an oriented graph with no loops or multiple edges. Write the relevant LLT polynomial expansion as

ωGG(x;q+1)=αcαG(q)Ψα(x)zα,\omega\mathrm{G}_G(\mathbf{x};q+1)=\sum_{\alpha}c^G_{\alpha}(q)\frac{\Psi_{\alpha}(\mathbf{x})}{z_{\alpha}},

where Ψα\Psi_{\alpha} is the quasisymmetric power sum indexed by the composition α\alpha, zαz_{\alpha} is its standard normalization, and cαG(q)N[q]c^G_{\alpha}(q)\in\mathbb{N}[q]. Alexandersson–Panova conjecture. The polynomials cαG(q)c^G_{\alpha}(q) are unimodal for all compositions α\alpha. The source attributes the conjecture to P. Alexandersson and G. Panova and notes that computer experiments suggest an extension to the more general vertical-strip setting; the supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
