Beck et al.'s triangulation conjecture for the lecture hall cone

Let Rn\mathscr{R}_n be the lecture hall cone in the special case associated with (1,2,,n)(1,2,\ldots,n), let Sn1\mathfrak{S}_{n-1} be the symmetric group, and let des(π)\mathrm{des}(\pi) denote the number of descents of π\pi. Beck et al.'s triangulation conjecture. There exists a regular, flag, unimodular triangulation of Rn\mathscr{R}_n admitting a shelling order such that its maximal simplices are indexed by πSn1\pi\in\mathfrak{S}_{n-1}, with each simplex attached along des(π)\mathrm{des}(\pi) of its facets. This would provide additional geometric information about the lecture hall cone; the source records the question as open.
