Integrality conjecture for the Benson–Symonds invariant of symmetric-group permutation modules

Let nn be a positive integer, let λ\lambda be a partition of nn, and let MλM^\lambda be the corresponding permutation module of the symmetric group Sn\mathcal{S}_n. The Benson–Symonds invariant of MλM^\lambda for Sn\mathcal{S}_n is denoted by γSn(Mλ)\gamma_{\mathcal{S}_n}(M^\lambda). Integrality conjecture. The number

γSn(Mλ)\gamma_{\mathcal{S}_n}(M^\lambda)

is an integer. This conjecture is motivated by the behavior of permutation modules upon restriction to elementary abelian pp-subgroups and by computations using the computer algebra system Magma; its resolution is not indicated in the source.
