Vanishing conjecture for Kronecker coefficients of square partitions

About 3 years old · traced to

For m≥7m\ge 7, let (mm)(m^m) be the square partition of m2m^2, let μ′\mu' denote the conjugate partition of μ\mu, and define

S={(m2−3,2,1),(m2−4,3,1),(m2−j,1j)∣j∈{1,2,4,6}}.S=\{(m^2-3,2,1),(m^2-4,3,1),(m^2-j,1^j)\mid j\in\{1,2,4,6\}\}.

Write g(λ,λ,μ)g(\lambda,\lambda,\mu) for the Kronecker coefficient. Square-partition vanishing conjecture.

g((mm),(mm),μ)=0g((m^m),(m^m),\mu)=0

if and only if μ∈S\mu\in S or μ′∈S\mu'\in S. The paper proves the forward direction and reports partial progress toward the converse, including positivity for three-row partitions and near-hooks.
