The PBW basis parametrization conjecture for symplectic Lie algebras

Let V(λ)V(\lambda) be the irreducible representation of a symplectic Lie algebra with highest weight λ\lambda. Let O(P,A)(λ,0)\mathcal{O}(P,A)_{(\lambda,0)} and C(P,A)(λ,0)\mathcal{C}(P,A)_{(\lambda,0)} be the marked order and chain polytopes associated with the marked Hasse diagram for the symplectic Lie algebra, where the marking consists of λ\lambda and zeroes. The integral points of O(P,A)(λ,0)\mathcal{O}(P,A)_{(\lambda,0)} are the symplectic Gelfand–Tsetlin patterns of highest weight λ\lambda.

PBW basis parametrization conjecture. The lattice points in C(P,A)(λ,0)\mathcal{C}(P,A)_{(\lambda,0)} parametrize a PBW basis of V(λ)V(\lambda) for the symplectic Lie algebras.

This conjecture connects marked chain polytopes with PBW bases and gives a polyhedral realization of representation-theoretic bases. The source states that it is proved in an article in preparation by Feigin, Fourier, and Littelmann.
