Hersh–Reiner sharp stability conjecture for rank-selected homology of partition lattices

Let Πn\Pi_n be the poset of set partitions of {1,2,,n}\{1,2,\dots,n\} ordered by refinement, and let S{1,2,,n2}S\subseteq\{1,2,\dots,n-2\}. Write βS(Πn)\beta_S(\Pi_n) for the rank-selected homology Sn\mathfrak{S}_n-representation associated with SS. Hersh–Reiner's sharp stability conjecture. The representation βS(Πn)\beta_S(\Pi_n) stabilizes sharply at 4maxSS+14\max S-|S|+1. The conjecture concerns the precise onset of representation stability for rank-selected homology of partition lattices; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
