The tensor-power occurrence conjecture for semisimple Lie algebras

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a semisimple Lie algebra and let V(λ)V(\lambda) be an irreducible g\mathfrak{g}-module of dimension rr, with highest weight λ\lambda. Let Π(λ)\Pi(\lambda) denote the weights of V(λ)V(\lambda), let μλ\mu\preceq\lambda be a dominant weight in Π(λ)\Pi(\lambda), and let π=Λ/Λr\pi=\Lambda/\Lambda_r be the fundamental group, where Λ\Lambda is the weight lattice and Λr\Lambda_r the root lattice. Tensor-power occurrence conjecture. The tensor power V(λ)nV(\lambda)^{\otimes n} contains the irreducible g\mathfrak{g}-module V(μ)V(\mu) for some nmaxgπord(g)n\leq\max_{g\in\pi}\operatorname{ord}(g) if π\pi is nontrivial, and for n=2n=2 otherwise. The conjecture proposes an upper bound, matching the preceding lower-bound discussion, for the tensor power in which a prescribed constituent first occurs. The source gives no evidence of resolution.
