Stanley's strong conjecture for Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficients when the Schur coefficient is one

Let gμνλg_{\mu\nu}^\lambda be the Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficient and let cμνλc_{\mu\nu}^\lambda be the corresponding Schur Littlewood–Richardson coefficient. For every box bb, let hσU(b)h^U_\sigma(b) and hσL(b)h^L_\sigma(b) denote the upper and lower hook symbols associated with a partition σ\sigma.

Strong Stanley conjecture. If cμνλ=1c_{\mu\nu}^\lambda=1, then

gμνλ=bμhμΦb(b)bνhνΦb(b)bλhλΦb(b),g_{\mu\nu}^\lambda=\frac{\displaystyle\prod_{b\in\mu}h^{\Phi_b}_\mu(b)\,\prod_{b\in\nu}h^{\Phi_b}_\nu(b)}{\displaystyle\prod_{b\in\lambda}h^{\Phi_b}_\lambda(b)},

where each Φb\Phi_b is either UU or LL, and the symbols hLh^L and hUh^U occur equally often in the numerator and denominator. This is a proposed explicit, manifestly positive form of Stanley's general conjecture in the case cμνλ=1c_{\mu\nu}^\lambda=1.
