Newell–Littlewood saturation conjecture

Let Parn{\operatorname{Par}}_n denote the set of partitions with at most nn parts, and let Nλ,μ,νN_{\lambda,\mu,\nu} be the Newell–Littlewood coefficient for (λ,μ,ν)(Parn)3(\lambda,\mu,\nu)\in({\operatorname{Par}}_n)^3. Then Nλ,μ,ν0N_{\lambda,\mu,\nu}\neq 0 if and only if λ+μ+ν|\lambda|+|\mu|+|\nu| is even and there exists t>0t>0 such that

Ntλ,tμ,tν0.N_{t\lambda,t\mu,t\nu}\neq 0.

NL-saturation conjecture. The stated equivalence holds for every (λ,μ,ν)(Parn)3(\lambda,\mu,\nu)\in({\operatorname{Par}}_n)^3. This is the proposed analogue of the Littlewood–Richardson saturation theorem for Newell–Littlewood coefficients; the source presents it as a generalization, and no resolution is supplied here.
