Kapovich–Millson saturation conjecture for simply laced root systems

About 13 years old · traced to

Let GG be a split reductive group over \x211a\x211a and let kGk_G be the positive integer from the saturation theorem: for dominant integral weights λ\lambda, μ\mu, and ν\nu such that λ∗+μ+ν\lambda^*+\mu+\nu lies in the root lattice, positivity of ckμ,kνkλ(G)c_{k\mu,k\nu}^{k\lambda}(G) for some k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} implies positivity of ckGμ,kGνkGλ(G)c_{k_G\mu,k_G\nu}^{k_G\lambda}(G). Kapovich–Millson saturation conjecture. If the root system of GG is simply laced, then kGk_G can be chosen to be 11. This conjecture predicts the sharp saturation factor for tensor product multiplicities of simply laced reductive groups; the paper's theorem proves the relevant Newell–Littlewood saturation result, but the supplied text does not establish whether this general conjecture has been resolved.
