Generalization of the Amdeberhan–Shareshian–Stanley conjecture for partition division maps

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let μ⊢kn\mu\vdash kn. The symmetric function rowDiv⁡k(eμ)\operatorname{rowDiv}_k(\mathrm{e}_\mu) is e\mathrm{e}-positive with non-negative integer coefficients.

Generalized Amdeberhan–Shareshian–Stanley conjecture. For every partition μ\mu of knkn, the symmetric function obtained by applying the partition division map rowDiv⁡k\operatorname{rowDiv}_k to the elementary symmetric function eμ\mathrm{e}_\mu has a non-negative integer expansion in the elementary basis.

This conjecture extends the Amdeberhan–Shareshian–Stanley positivity phenomenon for partition division maps. The displayed computation provides an example, but the general assertion remains unresolved.
