Generalization of the eigencone and invariant restriction conjecture for symmetric subgroups

About 19 years old · traced to

Let GG be a connected simply-connected, semisimple complex algebraic group, let σ\sigma be a diagram automorphism of GG, and let KK be its fixed subgroup. Fix a standard parabolic subgroup P⊂GP\subset G and Bruhat cells Λw1P,…,ΛwsP\Lambda^P_{w_1},\ldots,\Lambda^P_{w_s} in G/PG/P. For irreducible representations Vλ1,…,VλsV_{\lambda^1},\ldots,V_{\lambda^s} of GG with highest weights λ1,…,λs\lambda^1,\ldots,\lambda^s, define hK:=hσ\mathfrak h_K:=\mathfrak h^{\sigma} and let λKi\lambda^i_K be the restriction of λi\lambda^i to hK\mathfrak h_K; these restrictions are dominant for KK with respect to BK:=BσB^K:=B^{\sigma}. The generalization conjecture. (a) There exist elements k1,…,ks∈Kk_1,\ldots,k_s\in K such that

⋂i=1skiΛwiP\bigcap_{i=1}^s k_i\Lambda^P_{w_i}

is proper. (b) If

(Vλ1⊗⋯⊗Vλs)G≠0,\left(V_{\lambda^1}\otimes\cdots\otimes V_{\lambda^s}\right)^G\neq 0,

then the tensor product of irreducible KK-modules with highest weights λK1,…,λKs\lambda^1_K,\ldots,\lambda^s_K has a nonzero KK-invariant. This conjecture is proposed as a common generalization of the preceding results for symplectic and odd orthogonal groups; the supplied passage does not state whether it has since been proved or disproved.
