Standard atom positivity conjecture for flagged LLT polynomials

Let ν{\boldsymbol\nu} be a tuple of ordinary, non-ragged-right skew diagrams, and let σ\sigma be the standard compatible permutation. Let Gν,σ[x1,,xl;t]\mathcal G_{{\boldsymbol\nu},\sigma}[x_1,\ldots,x_l;t] be the associated flagged LLT polynomial. Standard atom positivity conjecture. The polynomial

Gν,σ[x1,,xl;t]\mathcal G_{{\boldsymbol\nu},\sigma}[x_1,\ldots,x_l;t]

is atom positive, meaning that all of its Demazure-atom coefficients lie in N[t]\mathbb N[t].

This conjecture generalizes the known Schur positivity of symmetric LLT polynomials. The source gives no resolution, so it remains open.
