Eventual evenness of standard Young tableau counts for generic partitions

About 1 year old · traced to

Let cc be a constant. A partition λ\lambda of nn boxes is called generic if its Young diagram fits into a cnc\sqrt n by cnc\sqrt n grid. Write SYT⁡(λ)\operatorname{SYT}(\lambda) for the set of standard Young tableaux of shape λ\lambda. Eventual evenness conjecture. For every constant cc, there is a number of boxes bb such that, for all n>bn>b, every generic partition λ\lambda of nn boxes has an even number of standard Young tableaux:

∣SYT⁡(λ)∣≡0(mod2).|\operatorname{SYT}(\lambda)|\equiv 0 \pmod{2}.

The conjecture is motivated by the hook-length formula and would explain why the cactus-group image is eventually more often contained in an alternating group for generic partitions; its status is not resolved in the source.
