Vinberg's polyhedral-inequality conjecture for essential signatures

Let tZ\mathfrak{t}_{\mathbb{Z}} be the coroot lattice, and let an essential signature of highest weight λ\lambda be written as σ=(λ;p1,,pN)\sigma=(\lambda;p_{1},\dots,p_{N}).

Vinberg's polyhedral-inequality conjecture. There exist a family of subsets Mi{1,,N}M_{i}\subset\{1,\dots,N\} and a family of elements litZl_{i}\in\mathfrak{t}_{\mathbb{Z}} such that the set of essential signatures of highest weight λ\lambda is given by the inequalities

jMipjλ(li).\sum_{j\in M_{i}}p_{j}\leq\lambda(l_{i}).

This is the claimed polyhedral description of essential signatures and would give a finite system of inequalities when the relevant cone is polyhedral. The supplied text does not state a general resolution; it only records results for related conjectures in types B3B_{3} and D4D_{4}.
