Sundaram–Welker acyclicity conjecture for partition-poset complexes

About 25 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be different set partitions with λ⊢μ\lambda\vdash\mu, and let Xλ,μX_{\lambda,\mu} be the associated complex introduced in the paper. Here λ⊢μ\lambda\vdash\mu denotes the stipulated refinement relation between the set partitions.

Sundaram–Welker's acyclicity conjecture. For λ⊢μ\lambda\vdash\mu with λ≠μ\lambda\neq\mu, the space Xλ,μX_{\lambda,\mu} is Q{\mathbb Q}-acyclic.

This is presented as equivalent to the original formulation concerning the multiplicity of the trivial representation in the stabilizer module on the reduced homology of the corresponding partition-poset interval. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
