Fulton's multiplicity-one conjecture for tensor products of GL(n) representations

About 25 years old · traced to

Let λ,μ,ν∈(Zn)3\lambda,\mu,\nu \in ({\mathbb Z}^n)^3 be a triple of dominant weights for GL⁡n(C)\operatorname{GL}_n({\mathbb C}), and let Vλ,Vμ,VνV_\lambda,V_\mu,V_\nu be the corresponding irreducible representations. Fulton's conjecture. If VνV_\nu occurs exactly once as a constituent of Vλ⊗VμV_\lambda\otimes V_\mu, then for every N∈NN\in{\mathbb N}, VNνV_{N\nu} occurs exactly once as a constituent of VNλ⊗VNμV_{N\lambda}\otimes V_{N\mu}. This multiplicity-one assertion concerns the stability of Littlewood–Richardson coefficients under simultaneous scaling of the highest weights. The source presents it as a conjecture proposed by William Fulton; its resolution is indicated by the source's comparison with the proven saturation conjecture.
