Down-up Monk connectedness conjecture for back-stable Schubert products

Let SZS_{\mathbb Z} be the group of finitely supported bijections of Z\mathbb Z. A down-up Monk move is a down-up Bruhat move wta,btc,d=wwt_{a,b}t_{c,d}=w' satisfying either ac<bda\leq c<b\leq d or ca<dbc\leq a<d\leq b. Equivalently, it connects two permutations occurring with nonzero coefficients in a product with a simple reflection. A set is down-up Monk connected if every two of its elements can be joined by a sequence of such moves.

Down-up Monk connectedness conjecture. For any u,vSZu,v\in S_{\mathbb Z}, the set wcu,vw0\\{w\mid\overleftarrow{c_{u,v}^w}\ne0\\} is down-up Monk connected.

This strengthens down-up Bruhat connectedness by restricting the allowed moves according to Monk's rule; it remains open.
