Geometric Proof of a Conjecture of King, Tollu, and Toumazet

In their 2004 paper, Stretched Littlewood-Richardson and Kostka Coefficients, King, Tollu, and Toumazet conjectured that if a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient of value 2 is stretched by a factor of N, the resulting coefficient has value N+1. A generalization of this is proven using geometric methods and Schubert calculus.
