Abstract: The modified Macdonald polynomials introduced by Garsia and Haiman (1996) have many remarkable combinatorial properties. One such class of properties involves applying the $abla$ operator of Bergeron and Garsia (1999) to basic symmetric functions. The first discovery of this type was the Shuffle Conjecture of Haglund, Haiman, Loehr, Remmel, and Ulyanov (2005), which relates the expression $abla{e}_n$ to parking functions. A refinement of this conjecture, called the Compositional Shuffle Conjecture, was introduced by Haglund, Morse, and Zabrocki (2012) and proved by Carlsson and Mellit (2015). We give a symmetric function identity relating hook monomial symmetric functions to the operators used in the Compositional Shuffle Conjecture. This implies a parking function interpretation for nabla of a hook monomial symmetric function, as well as LLT positivity. We show that our identity is a $q$-analog of the expansion of a hook monomial into complete homogeneous symmetric functions given by Kulikauskas and Remmel (2006). We use this connection to conjecture a model for expanding $abla{m}_{m}u$ in this way when $mu$ is not a hook.
