The fraction of an $S_n$-orbit on a hyperplane

Combinatorics 2020-02-21 v1

Abstract

Huang, McKinnon, and Satriano conjectured that if vRnv \in \mathbb{R}^n has distinct coordinates and n3n \geq 3, then a hyperplane through the origin other than ixi=0\sum_i x_i = 0 contains at most 2n/2(n2)!2\lfloor n/2 \rfloor (n-2)! of the vectors obtained by permuting the coordinates of vv. We prove this conjecture.
