Yakimov's containment conjecture for quantum partial flag varieties

Let GG be a split, simply connected, semisimple algebraic group over a field KK of characteristic zero, let PIP_I be the standard parabolic subgroup associated with a set of simple roots II, and let WW be the Weyl group of GG. Write WIW^I for the minimal-length representatives of W/WIW/W_I, where WIW_I is the parabolic subgroup corresponding to PIP_I, and set

SW,I:={(w,v)WI×Wvw}.S_{W,I}:=\{(w,v)\in W^I\times W\mid v\leq w\}.

The H{\mathcal H}-invariant prime ideals of Rq[G/PI]R_q[G/P_I] are parameterised by SW,IS_{W,I}; denote the corresponding prime by Pw,vP_{w,v}. Yakimov's conjecture. For (w,v),(w,v)SW,I(w,v),(w',v')\in S_{W,I}, the containment Pw,vPw,vP_{w,v}\subseteq P_{w',v'} holds if and only if there exists zWIz\in W_I such that

wwzandvvz.w\geq w'z\qquad\text{and}\qquad v\leq v'z.

Yakimov states that this is proved in the full flag case but remains open in general, including the Grassmannian case; the supplied text does not report a resolution here.
