Stanley defined the chromatic symmetric function of a graph, and Shareshian and Wachs introduced a refinement, namely the chromatic quasisymmetric function of a labeled graph. In this paper, we define the chromatic quasisymmetric function of a directed graph, which agrees with the Shareshian-Wachs definition in the acyclic case. We give an F-basis expansion for all digraphs in terms of a permutation statistic, which we call G-descents. We use this expansion to derive a p-positivity formula for all digraphs with symmetric chromatic quasisymmetric functions. We show that the chromatic quasisymmetric functions of a certain class of digraphs, called circular indifference digraphs, have symmetric coefficients. We present an e-positivity formula for the chromatic quasisymmetric function of the directed cycle, which is a t-analog of a result of Stanley. Lastly, we give a generalization of the Shareshian-Wachs e-positivity conjecture to a larger class of digraphs.

  1. When is the chromatic quasisymmetric function symmetric?

    math.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A graph's chromatic quasisymmetric function is symmetric only under strong constraints; the paper proves connected DAGs with multiple sources/sinks are nonsymmetric and identifies a new symmetric family.

  2. Chromatic quasisymmetric functions for signed graphs

    math.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new chromatic quasisymmetric invariant for directed signed graphs and an algebra SQSym of signed quasisymmetric functions are defined and studied.
