Lorentzian character conjecture for simple highest weight modules

Let g=t=1Tslnt+1(C)\mathfrak{g} = \oplus_{t=1}^T \mathfrak{sl}_{n_t+1}(\mathbb{C}) be a direct sum of special linear Lie algebras, with positive roots Δ\Delta as above, and let d=t=1T(nt+1)d = \sum_{t=1}^T (n_t+1). For an arbitrary weight λh\lambda \in \mathfrak{h}^*, let M(λ)V(λ)M(\lambda) \twoheadrightarrow V(\lambda) be the unique simple highest weight module with highest weight λ\lambda. For δNd\delta \in \mathbb{N}^{d}, let N(xδcharV(λ))N(x^\delta \cdot \operatorname{char} V(\lambda)) denote the normalized shifted character. Lorentzian character conjecture. For every such λ\lambda and every δNd\delta \in \mathbb{N}^{d}, the normalized shifted character

N(xδcharV(λ))N(x^\delta \cdot \operatorname{char} V(\lambda))

is Lorentzian. This extends the cited conjecture for simple highest weight modules to arbitrary, possibly non-integral, weights and to direct sums of special linear Lie algebras; the status of the assertion is not resolved in the supplied source context.
