Hanlon's permutation-pair expansion conjecture for Jack polynomials

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let λ\lambda be a partition of size nn, and let IDO⁡n(λ)\operatorname{\mathcal{ID}^O}_n(\lambda) denote the set of orientable injectively decorated maps associated with λ\lambda. Write V∘⁡(M)\operatorname{\mathcal{V}_\circ}(M) for the relevant vertex set and face-type⁡(M)\operatorname{face-type}(M) for the face type of MM.

Hanlon's conjecture. There exists a statistic ww on the orientable maps in IDO⁡n(λ)\operatorname{\mathcal{ID}^O}_n(\lambda) such that

Jλ(α)(p)=∑M∈IDO⁡n(λ)(−1)n−∣V∘⁡(M)∣αw(M)pface-type⁡(M).J^{(\alpha)}_\lambda(\mathbf{p})=\sum_{M\in\operatorname{\mathcal{ID}^O}_n(\lambda)}(-1)^{n-|\operatorname{\mathcal{V}_\circ}(M)|}\alpha^{w(M)}p_{\operatorname{face-type}(M)}.

Hanlon formulated this conjecture as a weighted expansion of Jack polynomials in the power-sum basis using pairs of permutations. The claim is presented as an open reformulation, and the source gives no resolution.
