Periodicity conjecture for symmetric-power quotients of QQ^*

From papers

Let d,e,nNd,e,n\in\mathbb{N} satisfy the hypotheses of Corollary $$. Write Qm[r]Q^m[r] for the indicated filtration term, and let

1ed:G0(Fnd(nd))G0(Fn+ede(nd))\bullet 1^{e-d}:G_0\left(\mathscr{F}_n^{\geq d-(n-d)}\right)\stackrel{\cong}{\longrightarrow}G_0\left(\mathscr{F}_{n+e-d}^{\geq e-(n-d)}\right)

be the isomorphism of Grothendieck groups.

Periodicity conjecture. Under this isomorphism,

[Qn/Qn[d1]][Qn+ed/Qn+ed[e1]].\left[Q^n/Q^n[d-1]\right]\longmapsto\left[Q^{n+e-d}/Q^{n+e-d}[e-1]\right].

The conjecture predicts periodicity of these symmetric-power quotients under representation stability. It is known when nd5n-d\leq 5, while the general case remains open; the stated hypotheses include the stability conditions from Corollary $$.
