Sokal's factorial monomial-positivity conjecture for products of elementary symmetric functions
Let and be partitions with at most parts satisfying . Let and be integers with , and let be variable sequences. Sokal's conjecture. The determinant
is -positive, meaning that it is a nonnegative integer combination of monomial symmetric functions in the relevant variable sets. This conjecture strengthens Schur's theorem on factorial Hadamard products of real-rooted polynomials and extends Sokal's Hadamard-product conjecture. The source does not state whether it has been resolved.
