The principal ideal conjecture for factorizations of totally positive loop-group elements

About 17 years old · traced to

Let Ω\Omega be the space of totally positive loop-group elements. For X∈ΩX\in\Omega, let I(X)I(X) be the set of equivalence classes [i][\mathbf i] of infinite reduced words i\mathbf i such that X∈EiX\in E_{\mathbf i}; this is a lower order ideal in the limit weak order. Principal ideal conjecture. For any X∈ΩX\in\Omega, the ideal I(X)I(X) is a principal ideal. This conjecture would organize all infinite reduced-word factorizations of XX under the limit weak order; its status is not resolved in the source.
