Equality of limiting zero proportions in symmetric-group character tables
For each , let be the symmetric group, and let , , and denote respectively the proportions of character-table zeros of type I, of type II, and of all zeros in the character table of . Equality conjecture. The three limiting proportions exist and are equal:
The equality is proposed on the basis of the reported Monte Carlo data, and no proof or resolution is given.
