The power-of-\q conjecture for multiplicity-one weights

From papers

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a simple Lie algebra of rank rr, and let λ\lambda and μ\mu be weights such that the multiplicity m(λ,μ)m(\lambda,\mu) of μ\mu in the irreducible representation with highest weight λ\lambda is one. Let mq(λ,μ)m_q(\lambda,\mu) denote the associated qq-multiplicity. Power-of-qq conjecture. If m(λ,μ)=1m(\lambda,\mu)=1, then

mq(λ,μ)=qf(r),m_q(\lambda,\mu)=q^{f(r)},

where f(r)f(r) is a function of the rank rr of the Lie algebra. The conjecture concerns the remaining multiplicity-one pairs not covered by the paper's computations; the paper provides evidence through explicit calculations and tables, but a proof is left for future work.
