Alexandersson's minimal-polynomial conjecture for skew Schur functions

Let κ,λ,μ,ν\pmb{\kappa},\pmb{\lambda},\pmb{\mu},\pmb{\nu} be as in Theorem~. For every vector w\mathbf{w}, let w\overline{\mathbf{w}} denote the vector obtained by rearranging its coordinates in non-increasing order, and define

W={wNn ⁣:Kλ/μ,w>0 and wλμ}.W=\{\mathbf{w}\in\mathbb{N}^n\colon K_{\pmb{\lambda}/\pmb{\mu},\mathbf{w}}>0\text{ and }\overline{\mathbf{w}}\unrhd\overline{\pmb{\lambda}-\pmb{\mu}}\}.

For variables x\mathbf{x}, write xw\mathbf{x}^{\mathbf{w}} for the corresponding monomial. Alexandersson's conjecture. For sufficiently large rr, the sequence

{sκ+lμ/λ+lν(x)}l=r\{s_{\kappa+l\mu/\lambda+l\nu}(\mathbf{x})\}_{l=r}^{\infty}

satisfies a linear recursion with minimal polynomial

χ(X)=wW(Xxw).\chi(X)=\prod_{\mathbf{w}\in W}(X-\mathbf{x}^{\mathbf{w}}).

The conjecture concerns the eventual linear-recursive behavior of skew Schur functions and predicts the complete set of characteristic roots through the vectors in WW. Its resolution is not established by the supplied text.
