The main idea is to identify the sequences of Kronecker coefficients in question with Hilbert functions of modules over finitely generated algebras. The proof only uses Schur-Weyl duality and the Borel-Weil theorem and does not rely on any existing work on Kronecker coefficients. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.00333v2
