Generalised Saxl conjecture for staircase-like partitions

Let nn be a positive integer, and let λn\lambda\vdash n be a staircase-like partition, meaning a self-conjugate partition satisfying one of the three conditions described in the source: it lies between consecutive staircase partitions in the applicable parity cases, or between the indicated wider staircase bounds when no partition lies between consecutive staircases. Write [λ][\lambda] for the corresponding irreducible representation of SnS_n. Generalised Saxl conjecture. If n{2,4,9}n\notin\{2,4,9\}, then [λ][λ][\lambda]\otimes[\lambda] contains every irreducible representation of SnS_n as a constituent. This extends Saxl's conjecture from staircase partitions to the staircase-like partitions defined in the paper. The supplied text gives no resolution or partial-status evidence for this generalisation.
