Abstract: In this paper, we study shifted Schur functions $S_m{u}^{s}tar$, as well as a new family of shifted symmetric functions $mathfrak{K}_{m}u$ linked to Kostka numbers. We prove that both are polynomials in multi-rectangular coordinates, with nonnegative coefficients when written in terms of falling factorials. We then propose a conjectural generalization to the Jack setting. This conjecture is a lifting of Knop and Sahi's positivity result for usual Jack polynomials and resembles recent conjectures of Lassalle. We prove our conjecture for one-part partitions.
