Flag conjecture for largest Littlewood–Richardson coefficients

About 8 years old · traced to

Let λ⊢n\lambda\vdash n, and let μ\mu and ν\nu be partitions with cμ,νλ=C(n)c^\lambda_{\mu,\nu}={\rm C}(n), where C(n){\rm C}(n) denotes the largest Littlewood–Richardson coefficient at size nn. The flag conjecture. One of the two indexing partitions contains the other:

μ⊆νorν⊆μ.\mu\subseteq\nu\quad\text{or}\quad\nu\subseteq\mu.

The conjecture would describe the maximizers of the global largest Littlewood–Richardson coefficient. The source motivates it by computational evidence, and it remains open.
