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

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 An1A_{n-1}, Bn1B_{n-1} or Cn1C_{n-1}. Let J0J_0 and Δ={α1,,αn1}\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,,αn1}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×Cnl+2×C2lk3=Ck+2×Cnl+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.
