Positivity conjecture for Kac polynomials of quivers with multiplicities

Let QQ be a quiver, let rZ0Q0\mathbf{r}\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}^{Q_{0}} be a rank vector, and let α1\alpha\geq1. Let A(Q,α),rA_{(Q,\alpha),\mathbf{r}} be the associated Kac polynomial for the quiver with multiplicities. Positivity conjecture.

A(Q,α),rZ0[q].A_{(Q,\alpha),\mathbf{r}}\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}[q].

The displayed data support non-negative coefficients in examples, and the authors state that they hope to address this conjecture in future work; it generalises Kac's positivity conjecture when α=1\alpha=1.
