The k-Schur involution conjecture

Let λ\lambda be a kk-bounded partition, meaning that its largest part is at most kk. Let λωk\lambda^{\omega_k} denote its kk-conjugate, and let ω\omega be the usual involution on symmetric functions. The kk-Schur involution conjecture. For every kk-bounded partition λ\lambda,

ωsλ(k)[X]=sλωk(k)[X].\omega\,s_\lambda^{(k)}[X]=s_{\lambda^{\omega_k}}^{(k)}[X].

The claim generalizes the usual identity ωsλ=sλ\omega s_\lambda=s_{\lambda'}; it is proved in the text when the maximum hook length of λ\lambda is at most kk, but remains unproved in general in the supplied passage.
