Abstract
The polynomiality problem for the q, t-Kostka coefficients [11] was posed by Macdonald in the fall 1988 meeting of the Lotharingian seminar. It remained open for quite a few years, when suddenly, in 1996, several proofs of varied difficulty appeared in a period of only a few months. At the present there are three basically different approaches to proving the polynomiality of the q, t-Kostka coefficients:
