Galashin–Lam conjecture on q,tq,t-Schur positivity for Z{\mathbb Z}-convex curves

From papers

A curve CC passing through lattice points (0,0)=p0,p1,,pk=(m,n)(0,0)={\bm p}_0,{\bm p}_1,\ldots,{\bm p}_k=(m,n) is Z{\mathbb Z}-convex if the set of lattice points strictly above CC, together with the points pi+(ϵ,ϵ){\bm p}_i+(-\epsilon,\epsilon) for sufficiently small ϵ>0\epsilon>0, is Z{\mathbb Z}-convex. Write k(C)=k\operatorname{k}(C)=k and let FCF_C be the symmetric-function invariant associated to CC. Galashin–Lam's q,tq,t-Schur-positivity conjecture. For every Z{\mathbb Z}-convex curve CC, the formal power series

1(1t)k(C)1FC\frac{1}{(1-t)^{\operatorname{k}(C)-1}}F_C

is q,tq,t-Schur positive. Here (1t)1=1+t+t2+(1-t)^{-1}=1+t+t^2+\cdots is interpreted as a formal power series. This extends the cited conjecture of Blasiak, Haiman, Morse, Pun, and Seelinger; the source gives no resolution.
