Bergeron's e-positivity conjecture for multivariate diagonal harmonics

Let DHn,r\mathrm{DH}_{n,r} denote the multivariate diagonal harmonics space, and let Φn,r(q)\Phi_{n,r}(q) be the Frobenius characteristic of its character, with parameter qrq_r. A symmetric function is ee-positive if its expansion in the elementary symmetric-function basis has nonnegative coefficients. Bergeron's e-positivity conjecture. For every fixed nn and rr, the Frobenius characteristic Φn,r(q)\Phi_{n,r}(q) is ee-positive when qr=1q_r=1. The conjecture is presented as evidence for a Hopf-chain description of multivariate diagonal harmonics and is open in the source.
