Shareshian–Wachs conjecture for chromatic quasisymmetric functions
Shareshian–Wachs conjecture for chromatic quasisymmetric functions
Let be a unit interval graph, with its vertices in the natural order. Define its chromatic quasisymmetric function by
where the sum is over proper colorings and counts edges with and . Shareshian–Wachs conjecture. The function is symmetric and -positive. This is the quasisymmetric refinement of the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture. Although Hikita proved the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture, that proof does not imply the Shareshian–Wachs conjecture, which remains open.
