We identify certain combinatorially defined rational functions which, under the shuffle to Schiffmann algebra isomorphism, map to LLT polynomials in any of the distinguished copies Λ ⁢ (X m , n) ⊂ E of the algebra of symmetric functions embedded in the elliptic Hall algebra ℰ of Burban and Schiffmann. As a corollary, we deduce an explicit raising operator formula for the ∇ operator applied to any LLT polynomial. In particular, we obtain a formula for ∇ m s λ which serves as a starting point for our proof of the Loehr–Warrington conjecture in a companion paper to this one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
