Fixed-point conjecture for the twist on the longest Richardson variety

Let G=SLn(C)G=\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{C}), let v=idv=\operatorname{id} and w=w0w=w_0, and let \twistvw\twist_v^w be the twist automorphism of the open Richardson variety, preserving its totally positive part \Rtpvw\Rtp_v^w. Fixed-point conjecture. The unique fixed point of \twistvw\twist_v^w inside \Rtpvw\Rtp_v^w is gBgB_-, where g=(gi,j)i,j=1ng=(g_{i,j})_{i,j=1}^n is the upper triangular matrix with

gi,j=(niji)(j1ji),1ijn.g_{i,j}=\sqrt{\binom{n-i}{j-i}\binom{j-1}{j-i}},\qquad 1\leq i\leq j\leq n.

This is presented as an example in which the answer to the broader fixed-point question appears to be yes; the supplied text does not provide a proof or resolution.
