Difference formula for tensor-power multiplicities of covariant representations of sl(mn)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)

From papers

Let sl(mn)\mathfrak{sl}(m|n) be the type AA Lie superalgebra, let V(2s)V_{(2s)} be its covariant representation, and write

V(2s)L=λμλVλ,V_{(2s)}^{\otimes L}=\bigoplus_{\lambda}\mu_{\lambda}V_{\lambda},

where λ\lambda ranges over (m,n)(m,n)-hook Young diagrams. Decompose λ\lambda into its first mm rows and the remaining diagram λ~\tilde{\lambda}, and let M=(M0,,Mm+n)\vec M=(M_0,\ldots,M_{m+n}) satisfy M0=2sLM_0=2sL, Mm+n=0M_{m+n}=0,

λi=Mi1Mi,λ~=M+m1M+m.\lambda_i=M_{i-1}-M_i,\qquad \tilde{\lambda}^{\prime}_{\ell}=M_{\ell+m-1}-M_{\ell+m}.

Here λ~\tilde{\lambda}^{\prime} is the conjugate Young diagram of λ~\tilde{\lambda}, with i=1,,mi=1,\ldots,m and =1,,n\ell=1,\ldots,n. The tensor-power difference formula. Under this correspondence,

μλ=DRsl(mn)(t)cs,L(M),\mu_{\lambda}=\mathcal{D}_{R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t)}c_{s,L}(\vec M),

where DRsl(mn)(t)\mathcal{D}_{R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t)} is the shifted operator associated with Rsl(mn)(t)R_{\mathfrak{sl}(m|n)}(t). This conjectures a superalgebraic analogue of the difference formula relating weight-space coefficients to tensor-product multiplicities; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
