Spherical Iwasawa decomposition conjecture for the hyperbolic Kac--Moody group

Let GG be the hyperbolic Kac--Moody group, let KK be its relevant compact subgroup, let TRadT^{ad}_{\mathbb R} be the real adjoint torus, and define Ui,±=UW±UiU_{i,\infty}^\pm=U_W^\pm U_i for 1i21\leq i\leq 2. Spherical Iwasawa conjecture. The group GG admits the decomposition

G=KTRadUi,±.G=KT^{ad}_{\mathbb R}U_{i,\infty}^\pm.

This is the proposed spherical analogue of an Iwasawa decomposition for the hyperbolic Kac--Moody group. The supplied text does not provide a proof or resolution, so the conjecture is left open.
