Let $S^{\lambda}$ be a Schur functor. Is there a known positivepositive rule to compute the decomposition of $S^{\lambda}(\bigwedge^2 \mathbb{C}^n)$ into $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ irreps?


In response to Vladimir's request for clarification, the ideal answer would be a finite set whose cardinality is the multiplicity of $S^{\mu}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ in $S^{\lambda}(\bigwedge^2 \mathbb{C}^2)$. As an example, the paper Splitting the square of a Schur function into its symmetric and anti-symmetric parts gives such a rule for $\bigwedge^2(S^{\lambda}(\mathbb{C}^n))$.

Formulas involving evaluations of symmetric group characters, or involving alternating sums over stable rim hooks, are not good because they are not positive.

And, yes, it is easy to relate the answers for $\bigwedge^2 \mathbb{C}^n$ and $\mathrm{Sym}^2(\mathbb{C}^n)$, so feel free to answer with whichever is more convenient.
