Combinatorial formulas for symmetric Macdonald polynomials by superizations

Abstract

In this paper, we derive new combinatorial formulas for symmetric Macdonald polynomials Pλ(X;q,t)P_{\lambda}(X;q,t) and integral Macdonald polynomials Jλ(X;q,t)J_{\lambda}(X;q,t), in terms of several new statistics and the major index for a partition λ\lambda. Compared to previous formulas, these new ones contain the fewest terms. Moreover, three existing formulas for symmetric Macdonald polynomials established by Corteel--Mandelshtam--Williams (2022), Corteel--Haglund--Mandelshtam--Mason--Williams (2022) and Mandelshtam (2025) are recovered. Our proof relies on a new statistic on super fillings, employing the superization formulas of Haglund--Haimain--Loehr (2005) and Ayyer--Mandelshtam--Martin (2023), together with our recent approach to modified Macdonald polynomials.
