The product-of-chains conjecture for distributive cross section lattices

About 16 years old · traced to

Let Λ\Lambda be a distributive cross section lattice of the JJ-irreducible monoid of the pair (G0,ρ)(G_0,\rho), where G0G_0 is a simple algebraic group of one of the types An−1A_{n-1}, Bn−1B_{n-1} or Cn−1C_{n-1}. Let J0J_0 and Δ={α1,…,αn−1}\Delta=\{\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{n-1}\} be the set of simple roots as in the preceding theorem. Suppose that J0J_0 has connected components J0(1)={α1,α2,…,αk}J_0^{(1)}=\{\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\ldots,\alpha_k\} and J0(2)={αl,αl+1,…,αn−1}J_0^{(2)}=\{\alpha_l,\alpha_{l+1},\ldots,\alpha_{n-1}\}, with the possibility that J0(1)=∅J_0^{(1)}=\emptyset or J0(2)=∅J_0^{(2)}=\emptyset. Product-of-chains conjecture. Then Λ∗\Lambda^* is isomorphic to the product of chains

Ck+2×Cn−l+2×C2l−k−3=Ck+2×Cn−l+2×C2×⋯×C2.C_{k+2}\times C_{n-l+2}\times C_2^{l-k-3}=C_{k+2}\times C_{n-l+2}\times C_2\times\cdots\times C_2.

The claim gives a precise structure for distributive cross section lattices in the indicated classical types; the supplied text presents it as motivated by the rational smoothness discussion and gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
