contents Symmetric functions show up in several areas of mathematics including enumerative combinatorics and representation theory. Tewodros Amdeberhan conjectures equalities of $Σ_n$ characters sums over a new set called $Ev(λ)$. When investigating the alternating sum of characters for $Ev(λ)$ written in terms of the inner product of Schur functions and power sum symmetric functions, we found an equality between the alternating sum of power sum symmetric polynomials and a product of monomial symmetric polynomials. As a consequence, a special case of an alternating sum of $Σ_n$ characters over the set $Ev(λ)$ equals $0$.
