Tensor-square conjecture for symmetric groups

For each positive integer nn, let VλV_\lambda denote the irreducible representation of SnS_n indexed by a partition λ\lambda of nn. Tensor-square conjecture. There exists a partition λ\lambda of nn such that

VλVλV_\lambda\otimes V_\lambda

contains all irreducible representations of SnS_n. The conjecture asks for a single suitable partition for every nn and is presented as an additional open problem alongside the Saxl conjecture.
