Abstract

The chromatic symmetric function (CSF) of Dyck paths of Stanley and its Shareshian-Wachs qq-analogue have important connections to Hessenberg varieties, diagonal harmonics, and LLT polynomials. In the case of, so-called, abelian Dyck paths they are also curiously related to placements of non-attacking rooks by results of Stanley-Stembridge (1993) and Guay-Paquet (2013). For the qq-analogue, these results have been generalized by Abreu-Nigro (2020) and Guay-Paquet (private communication), using qq-hit numbers, which are a variant of the ones introduced by Garsia and Remmel. Among our main results is a new proof of Guay-Paquet's elegant identity expressing the qq-CSFs in a CSF basis with qq-hit coefficients. We further show its equivalence to the Abreu-Nigro identity expanding the qq-CSF in the elementary symmetric functions. This is the FPSAC extended abstract version. The full version is at ArXiv: 2104.07599.
