Abstract:

In this note, we prove some new stability results for plethysm coefficients. As special cases, we verify a conjecture of Wildon, and show the stability of sequences recently predicted by Bessenrodt, Bowman and Paget [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 375 (2022), pp. 5151–5194] to be weakly increasing.
