The nonvanishing conjecture for Schur Eisenstein transition coefficients
Let be partitions, let be the corresponding transition coefficient, and let be the associated element of the symmetric-function algebra. Let be the specialization determined by the renormalized Schur multiple zeta values. Transition-coefficient nonvanishing conjecture. For every pair of partitions ,
For straight shapes, computations suggest that the necessary support condition is sufficient; the conjecture asserts that the full -weighted sum does not vanish, even when individual terms in its factorization can vanish.
