Abstract: In 1996 Goulden and Jackson introduced a family of coefficients $(c_{pi,sigma}^{lambda})$ indexed by triples of partitions which arise in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for Jack symmetric functions $(J_p^{(alpha)}i)$. The coefficients $c_{pi,sigma}^{lambda}$ can be viewed as an interpolation between the structure constants of the class algebra and the double coset algebra. Goulden and Jackson suggested that the coefficients $c_{pi,sigma}^{lambda}$ are polynomials in the variable $$ with non-negative integer coefficients and that there is a combinatorics of matching hidden behind them. This emph{Matchings-Jack Conjecture} remains open. Dol{}oldk{e}ga and F'eray showed the polynomiality of connection coefficients $c^{l}ambd{a}_{pi,sigma}$ and gave the upper bound on the degrees. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the polynomial $c_{pi,sigma}^{lambda}$ to achieve this bound. We show that the leading coefficient of $c_{pi,sigma}^{lambda}$ is a positive integer and we present it in the context of Matchings-Jack Conjecture of Goulden and Jackson.
