Demazure crystal decomposition conjecture for symplectic bounded reduced factorizations

Let IfpfI^{\mathsf{fpf}}_\infty be the set of finite fixed-point-free involutions, let zIfpfz\in I^{\mathsf{fpf}}_\infty have no fpf-descents greater than nn, and let ϕ\phi be any flag. A Demazure qn\mathfrak q_n-crystal is a qn\mathfrak q_n-crystal isomorphic to BRFnSp(α)\mathrm{BRF}^{\mathsf{Sp}}_n(\alpha) for a skew-symmetric weak composition αNn\alpha\in\mathbb N^n.

Symplectic Demazure crystal conjecture. The crystal BRFnSp(z,ϕ)\mathrm{BRF}^{\mathsf{Sp}}_n(z,\phi) is a direct sum of Demazure qn\mathfrak q_n-crystals.

This is a crystal-theoretic generalization of the symplectic part of the involution Schubert polynomial expansion conjecture; taking characters with the standard flag yields the polynomial statement. The paper identifies it as an open problem.
