Recursive tetris-type formula for powers of the Vandermonde determinant
Let . Let satisfy and

and, if , for . Here denotes the Vandermonde determinant associated with the staircase partition , and denotes the Schur function indexed by ; is the relevant Schur-function inner product. Recursive tetris-type conjecture. One has
This conjectural recursion describes how a specified tetris-type modification of the partition changes the Schur coefficient in the square of the Vandermonde determinant. The authors report verification for using Maple; the general statement remains open.
