The Graded Stanley-Stembridge Conjecture

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let HH be a type A Hessenberg space. Let ch(LH)\mathfrak{ch}(\mathrm{L}_{H}) be the graded character of the associated left representation, and let Frob⁡\operatorname{Frob} denote the Frobenius characteristic map to the symmetric-function ring Λ(x)\Lambda(x). Graded Stanley-Stembridge conjecture.

Frob⁡(ch(LH))\operatorname{Frob}(\mathfrak{ch}(\mathrm{L}_{H}))

is hλ(x)h_\lambda(x)-positive. This is the type A positivity statement connected with the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture and with chromatic symmetric functions; the source raises the question of an appropriate type B/C analogue, while no resolution of the displayed statement is given here.
