Increasing Subsequences and Kronecker Coefficients

Combinatorics 2020-06-24 v1

Abstract

It has been conjectured by W. Chen that the distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a uniformly random permutation is log-concave. We propose a stronger version of this conjecture which involves the Kronecker coefficients of the symmetric group.
