Spontaneous emergence of solitons in affine dKdV

Let nn be chosen, let uu and vv be glides with fixed reduced words u=si1silu=s_{i_1}\cdots s_{i_l} and v=sj1sjmv=s_{j_1}\cdots s_{j_m}, and assume that sj1sjmsi1sils_{j_1}\cdots s_{j_m}s_{i_1}\cdots s_{i_l} is reduced. Choose positive parameters for the initial carrier z{\bf z}_{-\infty} and vacuum w{\bf w} so that the parameters remain unchanged after their interaction, and take an initial state equal to the vacuum except at finitely many positions. For 1hl1\leq h\leq l, let fh:ZR>0f_h:\mathbb Z\to\mathbb R_{>0} assign to the jj-th state the parameter corresponding to sihs_{i_h}. Spontaneous emergence conjecture. For any choice of the data as above spontaneous emergence of solitons occurs for a generic choice of the initial data. The conjecture concerns the appearance of shape-preserving waves with asymptotically constant velocity, together with residual radiation, under repeated affine dKdV evolution; the source gives no resolution status.
