The result gives an affirmative answer to a general positivity question for this class of unicellular LLT cumulants, and gives an independent proof of their Schur-positivity. In the special case of the complete graph, we also express the formula in terms of parking functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-01-21T10:40:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "combinatorial formula", "melting lollipops", "spanning trees", "unicellular llt cumulants", "general positivity question" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
