Symmetric-group log-concavity conjecture for orbit harmonics of bounded-block partitions

From papers

For integers nn and mm, let Pin,m Pi_{n,m} be the locus of unordered set partitions of [n][n] with block sizes bounded by mm, and let R(Pin,m)R( Pi_{n,m}) be its orbit-harmonics graded Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-module. Symmetric-group \log-concavity conjecture. For n9n\ge 9, the module

R(Πn,m)R(\Pi_{n,m})

is Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-log-concave. The text notes that log-concavity fails for n=7,8n=7,8 and 4mn4\le m\le n, while computational evidence supports the conjecture for 9n169\le n\le16; the general assertion remains open.
