On e-Positivity and e-Unimodality of Chromatic Quasisymmetric Functions

Abstract. The e-positivity conjecture and the e-unimodality conjecture of chromatic quasisymmetric functions are proved for some classes of natural unit interval orders. Recently, J. Shareshian and M. Wachs introduced chromatic quasisymmetric functions as a refinement of Stanley's chromatic symmetric functions and conjectured the e-positivity and the e-unimodality of these functions. Our work resolves the Stanley's conjecture on chromatic symmetric functions of (3+1)-free posets for two classes of natural unit interval orders.
