General monotonicity conjecture for plethysm coefficient sequences

Let minN\min\mathbb{N} and lin{0,1,,m}lin\{0,1,\dotsc,m\}. For partitions u u and τ\tau, let Al,m(u,τ)\mathsf{A}_{l,m}( u,\tau) be the sequence of plethysm coefficients defined from the associated skew-shape plethysm coefficients. General plethysm monotonicity conjecture. For all minNmin\mathbb{N}, lin{0,1,,m}lin\{0,1,\dotsc,m\}, and all partitions u u and τ\tau, the sequence Al,m(u,τ)\mathsf{A}_{l,m}( u,\tau) is weakly increasing. This generalises the Bessenrodt–Bowman–Paget conjecture; the source notes that the cases l=ml=m and l=0l=0 are known, while the full assertion remains open.
