Abstract

We show that almost every entry in the character table of SnS_n is even as nn\to\infty. This resolves a conjecture of Miller. We similarly prove that almost every entry in the character table of SnS_n is zero modulo 3,5,7,11,3,5,7,11, and 1313 as nn\to\infty, partially addressing another conjecture of Miller.
