We prove a positive combinatorial formula for the Schur expansion of LLT polynomials indexed by a 3-tuple of skew shapes. This verifies a conjecture of Haglund. The proof requires expressing a noncommutative Schur function as a positive sum…

We prove that the symmetric function $\Delta'_{e_{k-1}}e_n$ appearing in the Delta Conjecture can be obtained from the symmetric function in the Rational Shuffle Theorem by applying a Schur skewing operator. This generalizes a formula by…

Gorsky and Negut introduced operators $Q_{m,n}$ on symmetric functions and conjectured that, in the case where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, the expression ${Q}_{m,n}(1)$ is given by the Hikita polynomial ${H}_{m,n}[X;q,t]$. Later,…

LLT polynomials are $q$-analogues of product of Schur functions that are known to be Schur-positive by Grojnowski and Haiman. However, there is no known combinatorial formula for the coefficients in the Schur expansion. Finding such a…

We generalize the shuffle theorem and its $(km,kn)$ version, as conjectured by Haglund et al. and Bergeron et al., and proven by Carlsson and Mellit, and Mellit, respectively. In our version the $(km,kn)$ Dyck paths on the combinatorial…

Our main result here is that the specialization at $t=1/q$ of the $Q_{km,kn}$ operators studied in [4] may be given a very simple plethystic form. This discovery yields elementary and direct derivations of several identities relating these…

We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…

The modified Macdonald polynomials, introduced by Garsia and Haiman (1996), have many astounding combinatorial properties. One such class of properties involves applying the related $\nabla$ operator of Bergeron and Garsia (1999) to basic…

We study Schroder paths drawn in a (m,n) rectangle, for any positive integers m and n. We get explicit enumeration formulas, closely linked to those for the corresponding (m,n)-Dyck paths. Moreover we study a Schroder version of…

Rational Dyck paths are the rational generalization of classical Dyck paths. They play an important role in Catalan combinatorics, and have multiple applications in algebra and geometry. Two statistics over rational Dyck paths called run…

In \cite{HRW15}, Haglund, Remmel, Wilson state a conjecture which predicts a purely combinatorial way of obtaining the symmetric function $\Delta_{e_k}e_n$. It is called the Delta Conjecture. It was recently proved in \cite{GHRY} that the…

We give a combinatorial expansion of the stable Grothendieck polynomials of skew Young diagrams in terms of skew Schur functions, using a new row insertion algorithm for set-valued semistandard tableaux of skew shape. This expansion unifies…

We discuss the combinatorics of the decorated Dyck paths appearing in the Delta conjecture framework of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson (2015) and Zabrocki (2016), by introducing two new statistics, bounce and bounce'. We then provide plethystic…

We make a systematic study of a new combinatorial construction called a dual equivalence graph. We axiomatize these graphs and prove that their generating functions are symmetric and Schur positive. By constructing a graph on ribbon…

We introduce a new approach to the enumeration of rational slope parking functions with respect to the area and a generalized dinv statistics, and relate the combinatorics of parking functions to that of affine permutations. We relate our…

In a recent paper J. Haglund showed that a certain symmetric function expresion enumerates by t^{area} q^{dinv} of the parking functions whose diagonal word is in the shuffle of 12...j and j+1...j+n with k of the cars j+1,...,j+n in the…

In this paper, we formulate a rational analog of the fall Delta theorem and the Delta square conjecture. We find a new dinv statistic on fall-decorated paths on a $(m+k) \times (n+k)$ rectangle that simultaneously extends the previously…

We identify certain combinatorially defined rational functions which, under the shuffle to Schiffmann algebra isomorphism, map to LLT polynomials in any of the distinguished copies $\Lambda (X^{m,n})\subset \mathcal{E}$ of the algebra of…

Recent results have placed the classical shuffle conjecture of Haglund et al. in a broader context of an infinite family of conjectures about parking functions in any rectangular lattice. The combinatorial side of the new conjectures has…

Haglund, Morse, and Zabrocki introduced a family of creation operators of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, $\{C_{a}\}$ for any $a\in \mathbb{Z}$, in their compositional refinement of the shuffle (ex-)conjecture. For any $\alpha\vDash n$, the…
