Fiber homeomorphism conjecture for maps to totally nonnegative spaces

Let f(i1,,id)f_{(i_1,\dots,i_d)} be one of the maps considered in the paper, let pYwop\in Y_w^o, and let Δ((i1,,id),w)\Delta((i_1,\dots,i_d),w) denote the corresponding subword complex. Consider the cell decomposition of f(i1,,id)1(p)f^{-1}_{(i_1,\dots,i_d)}(p) induced by that of a simplex. Fiber homeomorphism conjecture. There is a cell-structure-preserving homeomorphism from this cell decomposition to the interior dual block complex of Δ((i1,,id),w)\Delta((i_1,\dots,i_d),w). In particular, f(i1,,id)1(p)f^{-1}_{(i_1,\dots,i_d)}(p) is contractible. The claim is presented as a consequence of the preceding regular-CW conjecture together with the proven face-poset and contractibility results; its resolution is not supplied in the excerpt.
