comment Identity involving Fresnel integrals
That's interesting. I stopped at the final integral because it can be done in a routine way with a reduction formula: write $(1-u^2)^{2n} = (1-u^2)^{2n-1} - 2u(1-u^2) u/2$ and use integration by parts on the second term. I don't know of a combinatorial proof.

comment Motivation and Intuition for Sprague-Grundy Theorem
Just to expand on the final line: in the game $G + \star n$, if the first player plays to $\star m$ in $G$ where $m < n$, then the second player can play in $\star n$ to give $\star m + \star m = 0$; if the first player plays to $\star m'$ in $\star n$ where $m' < n$ then the second player can play in $G$ to $\star m'$ to give $\star m' + \star m' = 0$. (We know that $\star m'$ is an option of $G$ because $n$ is the minimum excluded option.) Hence $G + \star n = 0$ and $G = \star n$.

Thank you for the reference. As you say in your paper, it's a remarkable isomorphism.

comment Known decomposition of $\bigwedge^k Sym^d \mathbb C^n$ in special cases?
When $n=2$ the plethysm ${\rm Sym^k}{\rm Sym^d}V$ is given by the Cayley-Sylvester formula. I can't see why this is equivalent to knowing your plethysm. But I think it should be possible to work out the constituents of $\bigwedge^k ({\rm Sym}^d V)$ using similar arguments with formal characters of ${\rm SL_2}(\mathbb{C})$.

comment An inequality for the ratio of standard Young tableau with {1,2,…,k} in the first row
I agree with darij grinberg's comment. Do you know if there is a refinement to a chain of results: $\frac{\dim \lambda / (k)}{\dim \beta / (k)} \ge \frac{\dim \lambda / (k-1)}{\dim \beta / (k-1)}$ for $k \ge 1$?
