Unimodality conjecture for the Kronecker-coefficient differences

For a natural number nn, let bλ,ib_{\lambda,i} be the tableau multiplicities and let gλμνg_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu} be the Kronecker coefficients. Define

dν,i:=λnμnbλ,ibμ,igλμνλnμnbλ,i1bμ,i+1gλμν.d_{\nu,i}:=\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}\sum_{\mu\vdash n}b_{\lambda,i}b_{\mu,i}g_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu}-\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}\sum_{\mu\vdash n}b_{\lambda,i-1}b_{\mu,i+1}g_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu}.

Unimodality conjecture. For every 1i(n2)11\leq i\leq\binom{n}{2}-1, the sequence dν,id_{\nu,i} is symmetric and unimodal. This is proposed as a stronger conjecture implying equivariant log-concavity; the available computations support it, but it remains unproved in general.
