We prove Okounkov’s conjecture, a conjecture of Fomin-FultonLi-Poon, and a special case of Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon’s conjecture on Schur positivity and derive several more general statements using a recent result of Rhoades and Skandera. 1. Schur positivity conjectures The ring of symmetric functions has a linear basis of Schur functions sλ labelled by partitions λ = (λ1 ≥ λ2 ≥ · · · ≥ 0). A sym...
