Critical-resonance conjecture for failure of McNamara's vanishing

Fix a long word i\underline{i} and a dominant coweight λ\lambda. Let m{\bf m} be an i\underline{i}-Lusztig datum, let Iλ(m)I_\lambda({\bf m}) be its Whittaker integral, and let B(λ+ρ)\mathcal{B}(\lambda+\rho) be the highest-weight crystal. A datum is critically resonant when it exhibits the critical resonance described by the paper.

Critical-resonance conjecture. If

Iλ(m)0and(i,m)B(λ+ρ),I_\lambda({\bf m})\neq0\quad\text{and}\quad(\underline{i},{\bf m})\notin\mathcal{B}(\lambda+\rho),

then m{\bf m} is critically resonant.

This conjecture predicts that critical resonance completely accounts for exceptions to McNamara's proposed vanishing criterion. The authors state that a uniform evaluation for resonant data is not currently known and present this as a direction for future work.
