Strong tableaux and Hikita tableaux equivalence conjecture

Let mEn\mathbf{m}\in\mathbb{E}_n, let P=PmP=P_{\mathbf{m}} be the associated natural unit interval order, and let λn\lambda\vdash n. Let strongSTP(λ)\operatorname{strongST}_P(\lambda) be the strong standard PP-tableaux of shape λ\lambda, and let HikSYT(m,λ)\operatorname{HikSYT}(\mathbf{m},\lambda) be the Hikita tableaux of shape λ\lambda. Strong-tableau–Hikita equivalence conjecture. The set strongSTP(λ)\operatorname{strongST}_P(\lambda) is non-empty if and only if HikSYT(m,λ)\operatorname{HikSYT}(\mathbf{m},\lambda) is non-empty. The source states that this is equivalent to the strong-tableau nonvanishing conjecture in the natural-unit-interval case.
