A new Plethystic Symmetric Function Operator and The rational Compositional Shuffle Conjecture at t=1/q
arXiv:1501.00631
Abstract
Our main result here is that the specialization at of the operators studied in [4] may be given a very simple plethystic form. This discovery yields elementary and direct derivations of several identities relating these operators at to the Rational Compositional Shuffle conjecture of [3]. In particular we show that if and are positive integers and is a coprime pair then where as customarily, for any integer and indeterminate we set . We also show that the symmetric polynomial on the right hand side is always Schur positive. Moreover, using the Rational Compositional Shuffle conjecture, we derive a precise formula expressing this polynomial in terms of Parking functions in the lattice rectangle.
