The Littlewood–Richardson conjecture for Hermitian symmetric spaces

About 20 years old · traced to

Let GR/KRG_{\Bbb R}/K_{\Bbb R} be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of rank rr, let X=p+X=\frak p^+, and let Λ\Lambda be the set of partitions of length at most rr. For λ∈Λ\lambda\in\Lambda, let SλS_\lambda be the corresponding nonzero KK-isotypic component of C[X]{\Bbb C}[X], and let cλμνc^\nu_{\lambda\mu} denote the Littlewood–Richardson coefficient for GLr(C)GL_r({\Bbb C}). The Littlewood–Richardson conjecture. For the KK-action on XX,

Sν⊆Sλ⋅Sμif and only ifcλμν≠0,S_\nu\subseteq S_\lambda\cdot S_\mu \quad\text{if and only if}\quad c^\nu_{\lambda\mu}\ne 0,

where λ,μ,ν∈Λ\lambda,\mu,\nu\in\Lambda. Ruitenburg made this conjecture for the tube-type cases and observed it for X=Cp⊗(Cp)∗X={\Bbb C}^p\otimes({\Bbb C}^p)^*; the source gives no general resolution.
