A signed Edelman–Greene expansion for doubled Stanley symmetric functions

Let Cn+1C_{n+1} be the hyperoctahedral group, and let x\boldsymbol{x} be an alphabet of variables. For an unknotted ωCn+1\omega\in C_{n+1}, write FωdF_{\omega}^d for its doubled Stanley symmetric function. A signed Edelman–Greene tableau for ω\omega is a tableau whose entries, reading word, and shape are as defined in the source; let Eˉωλ\bar{E}_{\omega}^{\lambda} denote the number of such tableaux of shape λ\lambda.

Signed Edelman–Greene expansion. If ωCn+1\omega\in C_{n+1} is unknotted, then

Fωd(x,x)=λEˉωλsλ(x).F_{\omega}^d(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{x})=\sum_{\lambda}\bar{E}_{\omega}^{\lambda}s_{\lambda}(\mathbf{x}).

The analogous formulas are theorems for the stronger condition of untangledness, while the assertion for all unknotted elements is presented as a conjecture.
