HKOTT's perfectness conjecture for Kirillov–Reshetikhin crystals

Let Br,sB^{r,s} be the Kirillov–Reshetikhin crystal indexed by a node rr and a positive integer ss, and let

cr=max{arar,a0},c_r=\max\left\{\frac{a_r}{a_r^\vee},a_0^\vee\right\},

where the coefficients are defined by δ=jIafajαj\delta=\sum_{j\in I_{\mathop{\rm af}\nolimits}}a_j\alpha_j and c=jIafajαjc=\sum_{j\in I_{\mathop{\rm af}\nolimits}}a_j^\vee\alpha_j^\vee.

HKOTT's perfectness conjecture. The crystal Br,sB^{r,s} is perfect if and only if scr\frac{s}{c_r} is an integer. If Br,sB^{r,s} is perfect, its level is scr\frac{s}{c_r}.

Perfectness is important for level-zero crystals because it enables the Kyoto path model and the construction of highest-weight affine crystals from semi-infinite tensor products of Kirillov–Reshetikhin crystals. The conjecture was proved for all nonexceptional types, while the statement in full generality is resolved according to the supplied status evidence.
