Amdeberhan's character table conjecture

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let λ⊢n\lambda \vdash n. Write Ev(λ)Ev(\lambda) for the set of even refinements of λ\lambda, let R2N+1(2∣λ∣)\mathcal{R}_{2N+1}(2|\lambda|) and R2Nc(2∣λ∣)\mathcal{R}^{c}_{2N}(2|\lambda|) be the partition sets appearing in the conjecture, and let χλ~μ\chi^{\mu}_{\tilde{\lambda}} denote the irreducible character value of the symmetric group indexed by μ\mu on the conjugacy class indexed by λ~\tilde{\lambda}. Amdeberhan's character table conjecture. If λ⊢n\lambda \vdash n, then

∑λ~∈Ev(λ), μ∈R2N+1(2∣λ∣)(−1)ℓ(λ~)χλ~μ=∑λ~∈Ev(λ), μ∈R2Nc(2∣λ∣)χλ~μ.\sum_{\tilde{\lambda} \in Ev(\lambda),\, \mu \in \mathcal{R}_{2N+1}(2|\lambda|)}(-1)^{\ell(\tilde{\lambda})}\chi^{\mu}_{\tilde{\lambda}} = \sum_{\tilde{\lambda} \in Ev(\lambda),\, \mu \in \mathcal{R}^{c}_{2N}(2|\lambda|)}\chi^{\mu}_{\tilde{\lambda}}.

This identity is presented as one of Amdeberhan's conjectures, arising from a broader conjecture on qq-series. The notation for the sets Ev(λ)Ev(\lambda), R2N+1(2∣λ∣)\mathcal{R}_{2N+1}(2|\lambda|), and R2Nc(2∣λ∣)\mathcal{R}^{c}_{2N}(2|\lambda|) is not defined in the supplied context, so the conjecture's scope and status require verification.
