The trace-forest content formula conjecture for skew tableaux of hook shape

About 12 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be partitions with λ⊢n\lambda\vdash n, and suppose that μ\mu is a hook. Write fλ/μf^{\lambda/\mu} for the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape λ/μ\lambda/\mu, and let the content of a cell ww be c(w)=column⁡(w)−row⁡(w)c(w)=\operatorname{column}(w)-\operatorname{row}(w). Trace-forest content formula conjecture. The scheme based on the trace forest of jeu de taquin always gives a formula for fλ/μf^{\lambda/\mu} in terms of the contents of the cells of λ\lambda. The conjecture would extend the paper's bijective character-evaluation method from the displayed examples to every hook μ\mu; although the corresponding character evaluations are known algebraically, the source notes that no combinatorial proof is known.
