The tensor square conjecture for symmetric partitions

Let g(λ,λ,μ)g(\lambda,\lambda,\mu) be a Kronecker coefficient, and let Sλ\mathbb{S}_\lambda denote the irreducible SnS_n-module indexed by the partition λ\lambda. Tensor square conjecture. For every n9n\geq9 there exists a symmetric partition λn\lambda\vdash n such that

SλSλ\mathbb{S}_\lambda\otimes\mathbb{S}_\lambda

contains every irreducible SnS_n-module; equivalently, g(λ,λ,μ)>0g(\lambda,\lambda,\mu)>0 for all μn\mu\vdash n.

This generalizes Saxl's question about tensor squares and is part of the study of positivity of Kronecker coefficients. The source gives no resolution.
