A Kronecker coefficient is the multiplicity of the complex Specht module

It is a nonnegative integer and is symmetric in the three partitions. For example, for
contains the trivial
representation, the sign representation,
and the two-dimensional irreducible representation,
each once. Saxl's conjecture requires positivity
of these coefficients when the first two partitions
are the same staircase.
Let

In particular, all these coefficients are eventually
positive. The dimension condition describes deterministic sequences of partitions,
not a probabilistic assertion about a random partition.

The dimension deficit of a partition means
. For these
special shapes it is proportional to their sizes, so they are outside the preceding
dimension range. Slonim attributes the mathematical statements and proofs to ChatGPT
6 Pro and states that the technical proofs have not been independently verified.
The same work reports dimension-deficit and vanishing results for Littlewood-Richardson
coefficients.
