Devnani–Eyyunni refined injectivity conjecture for elementary symmetric partitions

Let λ\lambda be a partition, with length denoted by \ell, and let prej(λ)\operatorname{pre}_j(\lambda) be the partition whose parts are all products of jj distinct parts of λ\lambda. Devnani–Eyyunni's refined injectivity conjecture. The function prej\operatorname{pre}_j should be injective on partitions whenever >j\ell>j. The original injectivity claim fails when =j\ell=j, and this refined conjecture is also false: for every j3j\geq3, there are infinitely many pairs of distinct equal-size partitions of length 2j2j with the same prej\operatorname{pre}_j image.
