Principal ideal conjecture for greedy factorizations

Let Ω\Omega be the space of totally positive loop-group elements. For XΩX\in\Omega, let J(X)J(X) be the set of equivalence classes [i][\mathbf i] of infinite reduced words i\mathbf i such that XX has a greedy factorization ei(a)e_{\mathbf i}(\mathbf a). Greedy principal ideal conjecture. The ideal J(X)J(X) is principal. The source notes that J(X)J(X) is an ideal in limit weak order, but does not establish principality; it also asks whether J(X)=I(X)J(X)=I(X).
