Large fully symmetric Kronecker coefficients for staircase and square partitions

From papers

Let ρk\rho_k denote the staircase partition and let δ\delta_\ell denote the square partition. Their sizes are ρk=(k2)|\rho_k|=\binom{k}{2} and δ=2|\delta_\ell|=\ell^2. For a self-conjugate partition λ\lambda, consider the fully symmetric Kronecker coefficient g(λ,λ,λ)g(\lambda,\lambda,\lambda). Staircase-and-square growth conjecture.

g(ρk,ρk,ρk)=n!eO(n),n=(k2),g(\rho_k,\rho_k,\rho_k)=\sqrt{n!}\,e^{-O(n)},\qquad n=\binom{k}{2},

and

g(δ,δ,δ)=n!eO(n),n=2.g(\delta_\ell,\delta_\ell,\delta_\ell)=\sqrt{n!}\,e^{-O(n)},\qquad n=\ell^2.

These estimates would imply a stronger growth statement for fully symmetric Kronecker coefficients than the bounds proved earlier in the paper.
