Per Alexandersson's MNability conjecture for Petrie functions times p2p_2

Let G(k,m)ΛG(k,m)\in\Lambda be the Petrie symmetric function, let p2p_2 be the second power-sum symmetric function, let Par\operatorname{Par} denote the set of partitions, and let sλs_\lambda denote the Schur function indexed by λ\lambda. Alexandersson's MNability conjecture. For every positive integer kk and every nNn\in\mathbb{N}, G(k,m)p2G(k,m)\cdot p_2 can be written as

\sumnonlimits\limits_{\lambda\in\operatorname{Par}}u_\lambda s_\lambda

with uλ{1,0,1}u_\lambda\in\{-1,0,1\} for all λPar\lambda\in\operatorname{Par}. The conjecture has been verified for all kk and nn satisfying k+n30k+n\leq 30, but the statement contains an apparent parameter mismatch, using nn in the quantifier and mm in G(k,m)G(k,m); this should be checked against the source.
