The chromatic noncommutative symmetric function of oriented trees

A long-standing question is whether chromatic symmetric functions can distinguish non-isomorphic trees. Campbell introduced chromatic noncommutative symmetric functions for digraphs, which lift chromatic symmetric functions to NSym, and asked to what extent they can distinguish non-isomorphic oriented trees. In this article, we prove that chromatic noncommutative symmetric functions can reconstruct oriented stars, oriented double stars, some oriented caterpillars, and some oriented paths.
