We introduce non-commutative analogs of k-Schur functions and prove that their images by the non-commutative nabla operator is ribbon Schur positive, up to a global sign. Inspired by these results, we define new filtrations of the usual (q,t)-Catalan polynomials by computing the image of certain commutative k-Schur functions by the commutative nabla operator . In some particular cases, we give a combinatorial interpretation of these polynomials in terms of nested quantum Dick paths.
