Sokal's total monomial positivity conjecture for Hadamard products of dual Jacobi–Trudi matrices
Let and be distinct sequences of variables, and let
where denotes the elementary symmetric function. For skew shapes , define the dual Jacobi–Trudi matrix
Sokal's conjecture. The Hadamard product is totally monomial positive; equivalently, every minor
is a multi-symmetric function in and with nonnegative integer coefficients. This strengthens Maló's total-positivity theorem by asking for coefficientwise positivity rather than positivity after specializing the variables to nonnegative real numbers. The source does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
