Adjacent-triple congruence conjecture for Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficients

Let (μ1,ν1,λ1)(\mu_1,\nu_1,\lambda_1) and (μ2,ν2,λ2)(\mu_2,\nu_2,\lambda_2) be triples of partitions that differ by a single box move in one pair, with pivot boxes b1σ1b_1\in\sigma_1 and b2σ2b_2\in\sigma_2 satisfying

hσ1U(b1)=hσ2L(b2).h_{\sigma_1}^{\mathrm U}(b_1)=h_{\sigma_2}^{\mathrm L}(b_2).

Here hσU(b)h_{\sigma}^{\mathrm U}(b) and hσL(b)h_{\sigma}^{\mathrm L}(b) denote the upper and lower α\alpha-hook lengths, respectively. Adjacent-triple congruence conjecture. The corresponding Jack Littlewood–Richardson coefficients satisfy

gμ1ν1;λ1(α)gμ2ν2;λ2(α)(modhσ1U(b1)).g_{\mu_1\nu_1;\lambda_1}(\alpha)\equiv g_{\mu_2\nu_2;\lambda_2}(\alpha)\pmod {h_{\sigma_1}^{\mathrm U}(b_1)}.

This gives the precise hook-divisibility relation suggested in the abstract and is intended as a compatibility relation between adjacent triples. The source presents it as a conjecture and gives no resolution evidence.
