Ribbon-tableau positivity conjecture for H-functions
Let be the symmetric functions defined from -ribbon tableaux, where is the level, and expand each in the Schur basis.
Positivity conjecture. The coefficients in these Schur-basis expansions are polynomials with nonnegative integer coefficients.
The conjecture proposes a Schur-positivity property for the ribbon-tableau -functions; the source presents it as supported by strong experimental evidence, with no proof supplied there.
