    Summary: Let \(\mathbb{N}\) denote the set of non-negative integers. \textit{J. Haglund} et al. [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 370, No. 6, 4029--4057 (2018; Zbl 1383.05308)] have conjectured that the coefficient of any Schur function \(s_\lambda[X]\) in \(\Delta_{e_k} e_n[X]\) is a polynomial in \(\mathbb{N}[q,t]\). We present four proofs of a stronger statement in the case \(k=2\); We show that the coefficient of any Schur function \(s_\lambda[X]\) in \(\Delta_{e_2} e_n[X]\) has a positive expansion in terms of \(q,t\)-analogs.
