The Kronecker-coefficient obstruction conjecture in geometric complexity theory
Let be a rectangular Kronecker coefficient, and let be the multiplicity of the irreducible representation indexed by in the coordinate ring of the padded-permanent orbit closure. GCT obstruction conjecture. There exist such that
and
for some .
The proposed obstruction would exploit vanishing rectangular Kronecker coefficients to separate the padded permanent from the determinant. The source gives no resolution.
