Abstract: Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $$ that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the generating series of rooted hypermaps. They made the following conjecture: the coefficients of $$ in the power-sum basis are polynomials in $$ with nonnegative integer coefficients (by construction, these coefficients are rational functions in $$). We prove partially this conjecture, nowadays called $b$-conjecture, by showing that coefficients of $$ are polynomials in $$ with rational coefficients. A key step of the proof is a strong factorization property of Jack polynomials when the Jack-deformation parameter $alpha$ tends to $0$, that may be of independent interest.
