Schur and shifted-ee positivity conjecture for generalized LLT polynomials

Let wSnw\in S_n and define the generalized LLT polynomial by

LLT(w):=(q1)n(ω(ch(q(w)2Cw)))[xq1],\operatorname{LLT}(w):=(q-1)^n\left(\omega\left(\operatorname{ch}\left(q^{\frac{\ell(w)}{2}}C'_w\right)\right)\right)\left[\frac{\mathbf{x}}{q-1}\right],

where CwC'_w is a Kazhdan–Lusztig element and ω\omega is the standard involution on symmetric functions. A symmetric function is shifted ee-positive if it is a nonnegative combination in the shifted elementary basis. Generalized LLT positivity conjecture. For every wSnw\in S_n, LLT(w)\operatorname{LLT}(w) is Schur-positive and shifted ee-positive. The source motivates this by the corresponding known properties for codominant permutations and gives no resolution.
