A proof of the shuffle conjecture


Abstract in English

We present a proof of the compositional shuffle conjecture, which generalizes the famous shuffle conjecture for the character of the diagonal coinvariant algebra. We first formulate the combinatorial side of the conjecture in terms of certain operators on a graded vector space $V_*$ whose degree zero part is the ring of symmetric functions $Sym[X]$ over $mathbb{Q}(q,t)$. We then extend these operators to an action of an algebra $tilde{AA}$ acting on this space, and interpret the right generalization of the $ abla$ using an involution of the algebra which is antilinear with respect to the conjugation $(q,t)mapsto (q^{-1},t^{-1})$.
