Grassmannian Billey–Postnikov decomposition conjecture for palindromic Schubert polynomials

Let WW be a Coxeter group, let JJ be a subset of its simple generators, and let wWJw\in W^J. Let PwJP_w^J denote the corresponding parabolic Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial, and call it palindromic when its coefficients are symmetric. A Grassmannian Billey–Postnikov decomposition is a Billey–Postnikov decomposition relative to JJ whose associated parabolic factor is Grassmannian. Grassmannian Billey–Postnikov decomposition conjecture. If PwJP_w^J is palindromic, then ww has a Grassmannian Billey–Postnikov decomposition. Consequently, the Ryan–Wolper theorem should hold in every Kac–Moody flag variety. This is motivated by results for finite type and for several classes of non-finite Weyl groups, but the source presents the assertion as conjectural and does not resolve it.
