Conjecture on integrality of standard string polytopes for classical groups

About 7 years old · traced to

Let GG be a complex classical group, let Λ+\Lambda^+ denote its dominant weights, and let w0‾std\underline{w_0}^{\mathrm{std}} be the standard reduced decomposition of the longest word of the Weyl group of GG stated in Littelmann's reference.

Integrality conjecture for standard string polytopes. The string polytope Qw0‾std(λ)\mathcal{Q}_{\underline{w_0}^{\mathrm{std}}}(\lambda) is a lattice polytope if and only if at least one of the following holds:

  1. GG is of type An\mathsf{A}_n;
  2. GG is of type Bn\mathsf{B}_n and ⟨λ,αn∨⟩∈2Z\langle\lambda,\alpha_n^\vee\rangle\in 2\mathbb{Z};
  3. GG is of type Cn\mathsf{C}_n; or
  4. GG is of type Dn\mathsf{D}_n and either ⟨λ,αn−1∨⟩+⟨λ,αn∨⟩∈2Z\langle\lambda,\alpha_{n-1}^\vee\rangle+\langle\lambda,\alpha_n^\vee\rangle\in 2\mathbb{Z} or n<4n<4.

The conjecture is motivated by known results and calculations for classical types. Together with the paper's reflexivity result, it would yield a criterion for reflexivity of these standard string polytopes on partial flag varieties, but the integrality assertion itself is left open in the supplied text.
