Stanley–Stembridge decomposition conjecture for immanant characters

Let γμ/νθ\gamma^\theta_{\mu/\nu} be the immanant character associated with a partition θN\theta \vdash N and a skew shape μ/ν\mu/\nu of size NN. In the case θ=(N)\theta=(N), call Γμ/ν(N)\Gamma^{(N)}_{\mu/\nu} the Stanley–Stembridge character.

Stanley–Stembridge decomposition conjecture. Every immanant character Γμ/νθ\Gamma^\theta_{\mu/\nu} is a non-negative integral sum of Stanley–Stembridge characters.

This conjecture would reduce the general immanant-character conjecture to the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture, whose special case corresponds to θ=(N)\theta=(N). It therefore proposes a structural decomposition of all immanant characters into the better-known Stanley–Stembridge characters.
