Support conjecture for Littlewood–Richardson coefficients of interpolation polynomials

About 2 years old · traced to

Fix partitions μ\mu and ν\nu. For each family F\mathcal F, let

SμνF={λ:cμνλ,F≠0}S_{\mu\nu}^{\mathcal F}=\left\{\lambda:c_{\mu\nu}^{\lambda,\mathcal F}\neq0\right\}

and let MμνM_{\mu\nu} be the set of partitions λ⊇μ,ν\lambda\supseteq\mu,\nu for which there exists a Molev tableau of type (λ,μ,ν)(\lambda,\mu,\nu). Support conjecture. For F=AJ,BJ,AM\mathcal F={A\mathrm{J}}, {B\mathrm{J}}, {A\mathrm{M}} and BM{B\mathrm{M}}, all the sets SμνFS_{\mu\nu}^{\mathcal F} are equal to MμνM_{\mu\nu}. The equality is motivated by the known support description for double Schur polynomials via Molev tableaux; its status for all four interpolation-polynomial families is not resolved in the supplied text.
