Original motivation

Schur − → fundamental quasisymmetric s31 = F31 + F22 + F13 monomial symmetric − → monomial quasisymmetric m31 = M31 + M13 Hall-Littlewood polynomials Pλ(x; t) Pλ(x; 0) = sλ Pλ(x; 1) = mλ Question: Is there some quasisymmetric expansion of Pλ which:

◮ at t = 0 gives us the fundamental expansion of Schur

functions, and

◮ at t = 1 gives us the monomial quasisymmetric expansion of

monomial symmetric functions?
