Generalized Rains' positivity conjecture for specialized Koornwinder moments
Generalized Rains' positivity conjecture for specialized Koornwinder moments
Let denote the set of partitions with at most parts. A -substitution map is an operator on that substitutes some, possibly none, of these parameters by or , while remains a non-constant polynomial for every integer . Define the minimal numerator of using the lowest-degree product of factors that clears its denominator. Generalized Rains' conjecture. If is a -substitution map satisfying at least one of , , , , , or , then for all partitions , the minimal numerator of is a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. The source notes that positivity fails for general pairs , while this conjecture asserts it under the listed specializations; its status is not specified.
