Positivity conjecture for the Specht-to-web transition coefficients
Positivity conjecture for the Specht-to-web transition coefficients
Let be a tableau with corresponding web , let be the associated Specht basis vector, and let be the equivariant map into web space with web basis vectors , where . Write when is strictly below in the partial order induced by the web graph.
Transition-coefficient positivity conjecture. For every tableau with corresponding web , one has
where for every occurring in the sum.
This incorporates the paper's two introductory conjectures: positivity of all transition-matrix entries and nonvanishing whenever . The preceding theorem proves the relevant vanishing outside the web-graph order, while strict positivity of the remaining coefficients is left open.
