Generalized Foulkes-type plethysm inequality

From papers

Let m,nm,n be positive integers, let u u be a partition of nn, and let u u' denote its conjugate partition. For a partition τ\tau of mnmn, write pν,(m)τp^{\tau}_{\nu,(m)} for the corresponding plethysm coefficient. Generalized Foulkes-type conjecture. If λmn\lambda\vdash mn, then

pν,(m)λpν,(m+1)λ+(n).p^\lambda_{\nu,(m)}\leq p^{\lambda+(n)}_{\nu,(m+1)}.

This is presented as a generalization of Foulkes' Second Conjecture. It is proved in the case ν=(1n)\nu=(1^n), but remains conjectural in general.
