Log-concavity conjecture for parabolic Kostka numbers

At least 19 years old · documented by

Let λ\lambda be a partition and let R=((m1l1),…,(mklk))R=((m_1^{l_1}), \dots, (m_k^{l_k})) be a sequence of rectangular partitions. For an integer N≥1N \geq 1, define

NR=(((Nm1)l1),…,((Nmk)lk)).NR=(((Nm_1)^{l_1}),\dots,((Nm_k)^{l_k})).

Let Kλ,RK_{\lambda,R} denote the parabolic Kostka number associated to λ\lambda and RR. Log-concavity conjecture for parabolic Kostka numbers. Let λ\lambda be a partition and RR be a sequence of rectangular partitions. Then

K(N+1)λ,(N+1)R⋅K(N−1)λ,(N−1)R≤(KNλ,NR)2,K_{(N+1)\lambda,(N+1)R} \cdot K_{(N-1)\lambda,(N-1)R} \leq (K_{N\lambda,N R})^2,

for every integer N≥1N \geq 1. This is a proposed extension of the log-concavity phenomenon to parabolic Kostka numbers; the supplied source does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture in general.
