Hook bounds on induction and Kronecker multiplicities #
Deligne 1.10 and 1.12, character side: if the induction
multiplicity [λ : μ, ν] is nonzero and λ contains the cell
(p + r, q + s), then μ contains (p, q) or ν contains
(r, s); and the Kronecker analogue at
(pr + qs, ps + qr). Both by evaluation: the Schur
specialisation of λ at the corresponding super power sum
vanishes, every term of the bilinear splitting is a natural
number, so every term vanishes; hook positivity makes the two
specialisation factors nonzero, killing the multiplicity.

Deligne 1.10, character side: an induction multiplicity
dies against the fat hook — if λ contains (p + r, q + s) while
μ avoids (p, q) and ν avoids (r, s), then [λ : μ, ν] = 0.
