Schur positivity conjecture for skew modified Hall–Littlewood functions

From papers

Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be partitions, and let H~λ/μ(x;t)\widetilde{H}_{\lambda/\mu}(x;t) denote the skew modified Hall–Littlewood function defined by

H~λ/μ,P~ν:=H~λ,P~μP~ν.\left\langle \widetilde{H}_{\lambda/\mu},\widetilde{P}_\nu\right\rangle:=\left\langle \widetilde{H}_\lambda,\widetilde{P}_\mu\widetilde{P}_\nu\right\rangle.

Writing its Schur expansion as

H~λ/μ(x;t)=νaλμν(t)sν,\widetilde{H}_{\lambda/\mu}(x;t)=\sum_\nu a^\nu_{\lambda\mu}(t)s_\nu,

Schur positivity conjecture. The coefficients aλμν(t)a^\nu_{\lambda\mu}(t) are nonnegative integer polynomials in tt.

This conjecture asserts Schur positivity with coefficientwise positivity in the parameter tt for skew modified Hall–Littlewood functions; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been proved or refuted.
