Extension of the stretched Kostka quasi-polynomial degree formula to arbitrary types

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, with root system Φ\Phi, positive roots Φ+\Phi_+, simple roots α1,,αr\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r, and corresponding fundamental weights ω1,,ωr\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_r. Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be dominant weights such that

λμ=i=1rciαi,ciZ0,\lambda-\mu=\sum_{i=1}^r c_i\alpha_i,\qquad c_i\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0},

and write λ=i=1rdiωi\lambda=\sum_{i=1}^r d_i\omega_i with diZ0d_i\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}. Define Φ(1)\Phi^{(1)} as the root subsystem spanned by the simple roots αi\alpha_i with ci0c_i\neq0, and define Φ(2)\Phi^{(2)} as the root subsystem of Φ(1)\Phi^{(1)} spanned by the simple roots with ci0c_i\neq0 and di=0d_i=0. For the stretched Kostka quasi-polynomial Kλ,μ(N):=dimVNλ(Nμ)K_{\lambda,\mu}(N):=\dim V_{N\lambda}(N\mu), the degree is

degKλ,μ(N)=Φ+(1)rk(Φ(1))Φ+(2).\deg K_{\lambda,\mu}(N)=|\Phi^{(1)}_+|-\operatorname{rk}(\Phi^{(1)})-|\Phi^{(2)}_+|.

The preceding formula is established in the source for complex semisimple Lie algebras of classical type; this conjectural extension concerns all types and remains unresolved in the supplied text.
