Saxl Conjecture for triple hooks

Representation Theory 2021-02-19 v4

Abstract

We make some progresses on Saxl conjecture. Firstly, we show that the probability that a partition is comparable in dominance order to the staircase partition tends to zero as the staircase partition grows. Secondly, for partitions whose Durfee size is kk where k3k\geq3, by semigroup property, we show that there exists a number nkn_k such that if the tensor squares of the first nkn_k staircase partitions contain all irreducible representations corresponding to partitions with Durfee size kk, then all tensor squares contain partitions with Durfee size kk. Specially, we show that n3=14n_3=14 and n4=28n_4=28. Furthermore, with the help of computer we show that the Saxl conjecture is true for all triple-hooks (i.e. partitions with Durfee size 3). Similar results for chopped square and caret shapes are also discussed.
