Positivity conjecture for the cocharge-normalized generalized Kostka polynomial

For a sequence of rectangles RR, let ri,j(R)r_{i,j}(R) be the number of rectangles containing (i,j)(i,j), and define

n(R)=(i,j)(ri,j(R)2).n(R)=\sum_{(i,j)}\binom{r_{i,j}(R)}{2}.

Set K~λ;R(q)=qn(R)Kλ;R(q1)\widetilde{K}_{\lambda;R}(q)=q^{n(R)}K_{\lambda;R}(q^{-1}). Cocharge-normalized positivity conjecture. For RR dominant,

K~λ;R(q)N[q].\widetilde{K}_{\lambda;R}(q)\in\mathbb{N}[q].

This is a reformulation of the positivity conjecture that also records the expected upper bound on powers of qq.
