The SNP conjecture for sums of Schur polynomials of symmetric polytopes
Let be a symmetric polytope, let be partitions, and set . For , let denote the multisets of size drawn from , define , and set
SNP conjecture. For , we have
and thus . Furthermore, has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) for all .
This conjecture proposes that the specified sums of Schur polynomials simultaneously realize every dilate of the associated symmetric polytope as a Newton polytope and have SNP, a property used to establish the integer decomposition property. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
