Stanley positivity conjecture for an eight-parameter family

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let ϕ\phi be the displayed map from the five auxiliary variables into the specified linear space, and write {m,n,r}=(m1,m2,m3,n1,n2,n4,r1,r2)\{m,n,r\}=(m_1,m_2,m_3,n_1,n_2,n_4,r_1,r_2). Stanley positivity conjecture. The expression

g:=(−1)[G⋆(ϕ({m,n,r}),α−1)]g:=(-1)[\bm G_{\star}(\phi(\{m,n,r\}),\alpha-1)]

is a polynomial in α\alpha with non-negative coefficients for every

(m1,m2,m3,n1,n2,n4,r1,r2)∈Z\a0≥08(m_1,m_2,m_3,n_1,n_2,n_4,r_1,r_2)\in\mathbb Z_{\a0\geq0}^{8}

satisfying r2n4=0r_2n_4=0. The source explains that this remains conjectural because the proposed Stanley sum has not been proved to capture the Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficients.
