Abstract

We introduce a family of generalized Schr\"oder polynomials Sτ(q,t,a)S_\tau(q,t,a), indexed by triangular partitions τ\tau and prove that Sτ(q,t,a)S_\tau(q,t,a) agrees with the Poincar\'e series of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the Coxeter knot KτK_\tau associated to τ\tau. For all integers m,n,d1m,n,d\geq 1 with m,nm,n relatively prime, the (d,mnd+1)(d,mnd+1)-cable of the torus knot T(m,n)T(m,n) appears as a special case. It is known that these knots are algebraic, and as a result we obtain a proof of the q=1q=1 specialization of the Oblomkov-Rasmussen-Shende conjecture for these knots. Finally, we show that our Schr\"oder polynomial computes the hook components in the Schur expansion of the symmetric function appearing in the shuffle theorem under any line, thus proving a triangular version of the (q,t)(q,t)-Schr\"oder theorem.
