Facet-maximality conjecture for multi-cluster complexes

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a finite Coxeter system of rank nn, let N=(w)N=\ell(w_\circ), and let QQ be a word in SS with kn+Nkn+N letters. Let Δ(Q,w)\Delta(Q,w_\circ) be the corresponding subword complex, and let Δck(W)\Delta_c^k(W) be a multi-cluster complex.

Facet-maximality conjecture. The number of facets of Δ(Q,w)\Delta(Q,w_\circ) is at most the number of facets of Δck(W)\Delta_c^k(W). Moreover, if the two numbers are equal, then QQ has the SIN-property.

The conjecture is known for dihedral types I2(m)I_2(m); the source explains this using cyclic polytopes and an upper-bound argument. It remains open in general.
