Distinctness conjecture for frayed ribbon Schur Q-functions
Distinctness conjecture for frayed ribbon Schur Q-functions
Let and be shifted skew shapes. A frayed ribbon is a shifted near-ribbon containing two squares on the staircase, and let denote the antipodal reflection of across the northeast-southwest diagonal. Write for the Schur -function associated with . Frayed ribbon distinctness conjecture. If and are frayed ribbons such that , then either or . The claim concerns the unresolved equality problem for skew Schur -functions; the paper reports computational and theoretical evidence but does not establish the conjecture.
