We initiate the study of the Macdonald intersection polynomials $\operatorname{I}_{\mu^{(1)},\dots,\mu^{(k)}}[X;q,t]$, which are indexed by $k$-tuples of partitions $\mu^{(1)},\dots,\mu^{(k)}$. These polynomials are conjectured to be equal…

This work studies the remarkable relationships that hold among certain m-tuples of the Garsia-Haiman modules $ {\bf M}_\mu$ and corresponding elements of the Macdonald basis. We recall that ${\bf M}_\mu$ is defined for a partition $\mu\part…

Let $\Lambda$ be the space of symmetric functions and $V_k$ be the subspace spanned by the modified Schur functions $\{S_\lambda[X/(1-t)]\}_{\lambda_1\leq k}$. We introduce a new family of symmetric polynomials,…

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 a combinatorial formula for the Macdonald polynomial H_mu(x;q,t) which had been conjectured by the first author. Corollaries to our main theorem include the expansion of H_mu(x;q,t) in terms of LLT polynomials, a new proof of the…

For a partition $\nu$, let $\lambda,\mu\subseteq \nu$ be two distinct partitions such that $|\nu/\lambda|=|\nu/\mu|=1$. Butler conjectured that the divided difference…

We introduce a conjectural construction for an extension to superspace of the Macdonald polynomials. The construction, which depends on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations, is tested for high degrees. We conjecture a simple…

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…

In the paper we formulate and verify a difference counterpart of the Macdonald-Mehta conjecture and its generalization for the Macdonald polynomials. Namely, we determine the Fourier transforms of the polynomials multiplied by the Gaussian,…

This is a paper about $c$-functions and Macdonald polynomials. There are $c$-function formulas for $E$-expansions of $P_\lambda$ and $A_{\lambda+\rho}$, principal specializations of $P_\lambda$ and $E_\mu$, for Macdonald's constant term…

We introduce a new operator $\Gamma$ on symmetric functions, which enables us to obtain a creation formula for Macdonald polynomials. This formula provides a connection between the theory of Macdonald operators initiated by Bergeron,…

Haglund's conjecture states that $\dfrac{\langle J_{\lambda}(q,q^k),s_\mu \rangle}{(1-q)^{|\lambda|}} \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}[q]$ for all partitions $\lambda,\mu$ and all non-negative integers $k$, where $J_{\lambda}$ is the integral form…

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…

We prove a combinatorial formula for Macdonald cumulants which generalizes the celebrated formula of Haglund for Macdonald polynomials. We provide several applications of our formula. Firstly, it gives a new, constructive proof of a strong…

We provide new approaches to prove identities for the modified Macdonald polynomials via their LLT expansions. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Haglund concerning the multi-$t$-Macdonald polynomials of two rows.

We show that the action of classical operators associated to the Macdonald polynomials on the basis of Schur functions, S_{\lambda}[X(t-1)/(q-1)], can be reduced to addition in \lambda-rings. This provides explicit formulas for the…

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 and prove the recursive relation \[ S_{\lambda}(V) = \sum_{L\subseteq V\text{ line}} S_{\lambda}(V \mathbin{/\mkern-5mu/} L) \] conjectured by I. G. Macdonald for his "7th variation" of the Schur functions. This variation is a…

In earlier work with C.~Monical, we introduced the notion of a K-crystal, with applications to K-theoretic Schubert calculus and the study of Lascoux polynomials. We conjectured that such a K-crystal structure existed on the set of…
