Super-exponential growth of symmetric chain decompositions of L(m,n)L(m,n)

Let L(m,n)L(m,n) be the minuscule lattice of partitions contained in an mm by nn box, and let #SCD(L(m,n))\#\operatorname{SCD}(L(m,n)) denote the number of symmetric chain decompositions of this poset. Fix m>1m>1 and kNk\in\mathbb{N}. Super-exponential growth conjecture for L(m,n)L(m,n).

limn#SCD(L(m,n))kn=.\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\#\operatorname{SCD}(L(m,n))}{k^n}=\infty.

This asserts that, for each fixed m>1m>1, the number of symmetric chain decompositions of L(m,n)L(m,n) eventually exceeds every exponential function knk^n. The conjecture is based on computational data; the existence and enumeration of symmetric chain decompositions remain active problems.
