Strong and powerful tableau bounds for chromatic symmetric function coefficients
Let ) be a -free poset, let be a partition, and let denote the coefficient of in . Let and be the sets of strong and powerful standard -tableaux of shape . Strong and powerful tableau bounds conjecture. For a -free poset ,
These conjectured bounds seek a combinatorial interpretation of the elementary-basis coefficients of chromatic symmetric functions. The paper also proposes refinements for natural unit interval orders and reports verification in small cases.
