Symplectic invariant-tensor character conjecture

Let n1n\ge 1, let g=sp(2n)\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sp}(2n), and let VV be the vector representation. For a partition μ\mu, write 2μ\overline{2\mu} for the partition obtained by doubling each part, and let sλs_\lambda denote the Schur function indexed by λ\lambda. Let N(2rV)N(\otimes^{2r}V) be the invariant tensors with its natural S(2r)S(2r)-representation structure. Symplectic invariant-tensor character conjecture. For r1r\ge 1, the character of the space of invariant tensors of 2rV\otimes ^{2r}V as a representation of S(2r)S(2r) is

μs2μ\sum_{\mu} s_{\overline{2\mu}}

where the sum is over partitions μ\mu such that μ\mu has at most 2n2n parts and μ=r|\mu|=r. This predicts the symmetric-group character of symplectic invariant tensors; the supplied text does not state whether the formula is resolved.
