Abstract
Haglund, Morse, and Zabrocki introduced a family of creation operators of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, for any , in their compositional refinement of the shuffle (ex-)conjecture. For any , the combinatorial formula for is a weighted sum of parking functions. These summations can be converted to a weighted sum of certain LLT polynomials. Thus is Schur positive since Grojnowski and Haiman proved that all LLT polynomials are Schur positive. In this paper, we obtain a recursion that implies the -positivity of , and hence prove the Schur positivity of . As a corollary, a parking function interpretation for is obtained by using the compositional shuffle theorem of Carlsson and Mellit.
