Concavity conjecture for the maximum m-field of the symmetric group
Let be fixed. For a partition of the symmetric group into parts, let denote the maximum attainable sum of intensities, and define
Concavity conjecture. For any fixed , the function is concave.
The conjecture is proposed as a way to understand the growth of beyond the polynomial range, where the paper's upper bounds are far from the available lower bound. No proof is given.
