Abstract
Extending the symmetric framework of D'Adderio and Mellit, we establish a nonsymmetric generalization of the compositional Delta theorem. Building on Blasiak et al.'s theory of flagged LLT polynomials, we derive signed and unsigned nonsymmetric identities evaluated in terms of flagged LLT polynomials. Furthermore, by introducing nonsymmetric variants of the and operators, we obtain a novel operator formulation. We show that applying Weyl symmetrization to these nonsymmetric identities systematically recovers the original compositional Delta theorem. Finally, we propose analogous conjectures regarding stable atom positivity.
