A Proof of the Extended Delta Conjecture

We prove the extended delta conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson, a combinatorial formula for $\Delta _{h_l}\Delta ' _{e_k} e_{n}$ , where $\Delta ' _{e_k}$ and $\Delta _{h_l}$ are Macdonald eigenoperators and $e_n$ is an elementary symmetric function. We actually prove a stronger identity of infinite series of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_m$ characters expressed in terms of LLT series. This is achieved through new results in the theory of the Schiffmann algebra and its action on the algebra of symmetric functions.
