Saxl's conjecture: the tensor square of the staircase representation contains every irreducible representation of the symmetric group

Theorem 1.1: for every m≥1m\ge1 and every λ⊢Nm=m(m+1)/2\lambda\vdash N_m=m(m+1)/2, g(ρm,ρm,λ)>0g(\rho_m,\rho_m,\lambda)>0, so the tensor square of the staircase Specht module contains every irreducible representation of SNmS_{N_m}. The proof gives the stronger statement that every constituent occurs inside one explicitly generated cyclic submodule of the tensor square, extending Ikenmeyer's triangular arrangement of alternating tensors. Not shown: values or bounds for these Kronecker coefficients, or a combinatorial interpretation of them.
