Irreducibility conjecture for symmetric-group summands of torus-link homology

Let Tn=T(n,n)S3T_n=T(n,n)\subset S^3 and let vC,nv_{C,n} be the lattice point where the CthC^{th} and (C+1)th(C+1)^{th} Alexander-support hypercubes meet. Assume the Heegaard Floer link homology is taken over a field of characteristic zero, so the symmetric-group action conjecture supplies an SnS_n-representation on the homology. Irreducibility conjecture. Each graded summand of

HFL^(S3,Tn,vC,n)\widehat{HFL}(S^3,T_n,v_{C,n})

is an irreducible representation of SnS_n. This proposes a representation-theoretic refinement of the extremal-vertex homology conjecture: its binomial-dimensional graded summands match the dimensions of hook representations in characteristic zero. The assertion remains open, and the characteristic-two case is explicitly more subtle.
