Bessenrodt–Panova conjecture on self-conjugate partitions

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer, and let a partition be self-conjugate if it equals its conjugate. Its Durfee size is the side length of its largest square contained in its Young diagram. Bessenrodt–Panova conjecture. For every nn, there exists k(n)k(n) such that the tensor square of every self-conjugate partition of nn whose Durfee size is at least k(n)k(n) and which is not the k×kk\times k partition satisfies the Tensor Square Conjecture. The source presents this as a conjecture about the shapes whose tensor squares contain every irreducible representation, and gives no resolution.
