Interval conjecture for multiplication by a rectangular KK-kk-Schur function

Let 4Pk44\mathcal{P}_k4 be the set of kk-bounded partitions, let RtR_t denote the rectangular kk-bounded partition indexed by tt, and let 444\le4 be the strong order on 4Pk44\mathcal{P}_k4, defined by inclusion of the corresponding cores. For 4λPk44\lambda\in\mathcal{P}_k4 and 1tk1\le t\le k, consider the product gRtλ(k)g^{(k)}_{R_t\cup\lambda}.

Interval conjecture. For every 4λPk44\lambda\in\mathcal{P}_k4 and 1tk1\le t\le k, there exists 4μPk44\mu\in\mathcal{P}_k4 such that

gRtλ(k)=gRt(k)μνλgν(k).g^{(k)}_{R_t\cup\lambda}=g^{(k)}_{R_t}\sum_{\mu\le\nu\le\lambda}g^{(k)}_\nu.

In the case of a single rectangle, the coefficients are observed to be either 00 or 11, and the conjecture asserts that their support is an interval in the strong order. It remains open whether this interval description holds for all kk-bounded partitions and all 1tk1\le t\le k.
