Normality conjecture for toric orbit closures in generalized flag varieties

Let GG be a semisimple algebraic group, let PλP_{\lambda} be the parabolic subgroup associated with a dominant weight λ\lambda, and let G/PλG/P_{\lambda} be embedded by the corresponding representation. For a general element of G/PλG/P_{\lambda}, its toric orbit closure is normal; equivalently, the associated semigroup NA0\mathbb{N}A_0 is defined by inequalities determined by the support of λ\lambda along the Dynkin diagram. Normality conjecture. The toric orbit closure of a general element in G/PλG/P_{\lambda} is normal. The claim extends the established fundamental-weight cases and proposes that normality follows from the Dynkin-diagram description of the defining inequalities.
