Monomial-product property for multi-tt Macdonald coefficients

Let

H~μ(X;q,t)=λK~[q,t]sλ\tilde H_\mu(X;q,{\bf t})=\sum_\lambda \tilde K[q,{\bf t}]s_\lambda

and write each coefficient as

K~[q,t]=k,αck,αqktα.\tilde K[q,{\bf t}]=\sum_{k,\alpha}c_{k,\alpha}q^k{\bf t}^\alpha.

For cells (i,j)(i,j) of the Ferrers diagram of bcbc, let dbcd_bc be the number of standard tableaux of shape bcbc in which 22 is above 11, and set t0=1t_0=1.

Monomial-product conjecture.

k,α(qkTα)ck,α=((i,j)μqi1tj1)dμ.\prod_{k,\alpha}(q^kT^\alpha)^{c_{k,\alpha}}=\left(\prod_{(i,j)\in\mu}q^{i-1}t_{j-1}\right)^{d_\mu}.

This is presented as a conjectural property of the multi-tt Macdonald polynomials and is also observed for certain normalized Yang–Baxter traces; no resolution is given.
