Description

The numbers $n!$ and $(n+1{)}^{n-1}$ are ubiquitous in combinatorics. Each number counts number of permutations and parking functions, respectively. I will discuss their $(q,t)$-generalizations and further generalization to symmetric functions, namely the modified Macdonald polynomials ${\tilde{H}}_{\mu }$ and $\mathrm{\nabla }{e}_n$. Then I will discuss a recent conjecture involving these two symmetric functions. Based on joint work with Donghyun Kim and Seung Jin Lee.
