Foulkes's conjecture for symmetric powers
Foulkes's conjecture for symmetric powers
Let be a positive integer, and let be integers with . For representations of , write when is isomorphic to a subrepresentation of . Foulkes's conjecture.
This is a central special case of the plethysm problem and is stated in the source as open. It concerns comparing the decompositions of two iterated symmetric powers as -representations.
