Abstract: The tensor square conjecture states that for $ngeq10$, there is an irreducible representation $V$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ such that $VotimesV$ contains every irreducible representation of $S_n$. Our main result is that for large enough $n$, there exists an irreducible representation $V$ such that $V^{otimes4}$ contains every irreducible representation. We also show that tensor squares of certain irreducible representations contain $(1-o(1))$-fraction of irreducible representations with respect to two natural probability distributions. Our main tool is the semigroup property, which allows us to break partitions down into smaller ones.
