Lam–Postnikov–Pylyavskyy conjecture on Schur positivity
Let , , , and be partitions in . For vectors , define
A symmetric polynomial is Schur nonnegative if it is a nonnegative linear combination of Schur polynomials. Lam–Postnikov–Pylyavskyy's conjecture. If and , then
is Schur nonnegative. The paper presents a proof using skeps and -log-concavity, so the conjecture is resolved.
