The Delta Conjecture, valley version

Let nn be a positive integer and let kk satisfy knk\leq n. Let MPFn,k\mathcal{M P F}_{n,k} be the set of valley-marked parking functions of size nn with kk marked valleys and labels [n][n]. For such a parking function, let area\operatorname{area}, dinv\operatorname{dinv}, and ides\operatorname{ides} denote its area, marked diagonal-inversion, and inverse-descent statistics, respectively. Let ene_n be the elementary symmetric function, let Δenk1\Delta'_{e_{n-k-1}} denote the primed Delta operator indexed by enk1e_{n-k-1}, and let FidesF_{\operatorname{ides}} be the fundamental quasisymmetric function indexed by the inverse-descent set. The Delta Conjecture, valley version. For all knk\leq n,

Δenk1en=MPFMPFn,ktarea(MPF)qdinv(MPF)Fides(MPF).\Delta'_{e_{n-k-1}}e_n=\sum_{M P F\in\mathcal{M P F}_{n,k}}t^{\operatorname{area}(M P F)}q^{\operatorname{dinv}(M P F)}F_{\operatorname{ides}(M P F)}.

This is one of the principal combinatorial formulations of the Delta Conjecture; the case z=0z=0 recovers the Shuffle Theorem. Many special cases have been proved, but the general conjecture remains open.
