Aliniaeifard, van Willigenburg and Wang's generalized spider e-positivity conjecture

For positive integers m,nm,n, let S(a,b,c)S(a,b,c) denote the spider formed from three paths of lengths a,b,ca,b,c with a common end. A graph is ee-positive when its chromatic symmetric function has nonnegative coefficients in the elementary symmetric-function basis. Aliniaeifard, van Willigenburg and Wang's generalized conjecture. For any integers m,n1m,n\ge 1, the spider S(n(n!m+1),n!m,1)S(n(n!m+1),\,n!m,\,1) is ee-positive. The source presents this as a further conjecture and gives no resolution.
