Nonvanishing of Kronecker coefficients for rectangular shapes.

Abstract: We prove that for any partition

(l a m b d a_{1}, ..., l a m b d a_{d^{2}})

of size

e l l d

there exists

k g e 1

such that the tensor square of the irreducible representation of the symmetric group

S_{k e l l d}

with respect to the rectangular partition

(k e l l, ..., k e l l)

contains the irreducible representation corresponding to the stretched partition

(k l a m b d a_{1}, ..., k l a m b d a_{d^{2}})

. We also prove a related approximate version of this statement in which the stretching factor

k

is effectively bounded in terms of

d

. This investigation is motivated by questions of geometric complexity theory.
