Exceptional Specht-module decomposition conjecture for αk\alpha_k

For kNk\in\mathbb{N}, let αk\alpha_k be the partition defined earlier in the source, let αkR\alpha_k^R be its row-labelled constituent, let αkC=(2k+3,2k+1,2k1,,9,7,5)\alpha_k^C=(2k+3,2k+1,2k-1,\dots,9,7,5), and let w(αk)w(\alpha_k) denote its weight. Write S1C(αk){\bf S}_{-1}^{\mathbb{C}}(\alpha_k) for the Specht module and D1C(μ){\bf D}_{-1}^{\mathbb{C}}(\mu) for the corresponding simple module, with grading shift \langle\cdot\rangle. Exceptional decomposition conjecture.

S1C(αk)=D1C(αkR)w(αk)/2D1C(αkC)w(αk)/2.\mathbf{S}_{-1}^{\mathbb{C}}(\alpha_k)=\mathbf{D}_{-1}^{\mathbb{C}}(\alpha_k^R)\left\langle w(\alpha_k)/2\right\rangle\oplus\mathbf{D}_{-1}^{\mathbb{C}}(\alpha_k^C)\left\langle w(\alpha_k)/2\right\rangle.

The paper proves decomposability and one direct summand in the surrounding discussion, while this full two-summand decomposition is presented only as an expectation; the supplied text gives no later resolution.
