Why are these Littlewood-Richardson coefficients congruent to 1 mod 8?

Let $n\in{\mathbb N}$ and write $n=q_1+q_2+\dots+q_t$, where $q_1>q_2>\dots>q_t$ are powers of $2$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the partition with Frobenius symbol $(q_1-1,q_2-1,\dots,q_t-1;q_t,q_{t-1}...

Conjectural congruences for numbers related to Littlewood-Richardson coefficients

For $n \geq 0$, let $a_n$ be the square of the Euclidean length of the vector of Littlewood-Richardson coefficients of $\sum_{\lambda \vdash n} s_\lambda^2$, where $s_\lambda$ are the symmetric Schur ...
