Standard string-polytope lattice-point conjecture for classical groups
Standard string-polytope lattice-point conjecture for classical groups
Let be a complex classical group, let , and let be the standard reduced decomposition of the longest word of the Weyl group of . Write for the associated string polytope. A polytope is a lattice polytope when all of its vertices lie in the ambient lattice.
Standard string-polytope conjecture. The polytope is a lattice polytope if and only if at least one of the following holds: ; and ; ; or and either or .
This conjecture gives a precise integrality criterion for standard string polytopes of complex classical groups, extending the known results in types , , and . The type case and the only-if direction in type remain difficult; the source reports counterexamples to the earlier general Alexeev–Brion conjecture for higher-rank special linear groups.
