The window positivity conjecture for Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficients

Let μλ\mu\subset\lambda satisfy λ/νR\lambda/\nu\subset R, where RR is a window. Let Fμ,RλF_{\mu,R}^{\lambda} be the window factor and define

jλ,R=bλRhλU(b)hλL(b).j_{\lambda,R}=\prod_{b\in\lambda\cap R}h^U_\lambda(b)h^L_\lambda(b).

Window positivity conjecture. The window factor accounts for all boxes outside RR in the positivity expression, namely

gμνλ(Fμ,Rλ)1jλ,RZ0[α].g_{\mu\nu}^{\lambda}\left(F_{\mu,R}^{\lambda}\right)^{-1}j_{\lambda,R}\in\mathbb Z_{\geq0}[\alpha].

This sharpens Stanley's positivity conjecture by localizing the contribution of the window complement. It is proposed conjecturally and supported by examples in the paper.
