Schur positivity of three-legged spiders
David G. L. Wang, Watson Z. Y. Wang
We give a complete classification of Schur positivity for three-legged spiders. Every spider with at least two even legs is Schur positive, whereas every spider with three odd legs…

Schur positivity from signed elementary expansions: clique-spiders and spiders
David G. L. Wang, Watson Z. Y. Wang
Determining when the chromatic symmetric function of a graph is Schur positive is a central problem in algebraic combinatorics. Elementary expansions can help answer this question,…

An -positive classification for complete multipartite graphs
Ariel Y. Sun, David G. L. Wang, Watson Z. Y. Wang
Shelburne and van Willigenburg (arXiv:2604.26158) characterize the Schur-positive complete multipartite graphs and leave open whether the graphs~ are -positive.…
