Prime tableaux from coarsest positroidal subdivisions

Let TSSYT(k,[n])T \in \operatorname{SSYT}(k,[n]) be a tableau with no frozen factors. Write T=SrT=S^{\cup r} with rr maximal, where S=TS=\underline{T} has no further common frozen factor. A positroidal subdivision of the hypersimplex Δ(k,n)\Delta(k,n) is coarsest if it admits no nontrivial refinement. Prime-tableau conjecture. If Fk,n(vT)F_{k,n}(v_T) defines a coarsest positroidal subdivision of Δ(k,n)\Delta(k,n), then T\underline{T} is prime, meaning that the corresponding dual canonical basis element cannot be written as a product of two dual canonical basis elements. This would establish the converse direction to the known correspondence for Gr(2,n)\operatorname{Gr}(2,n); for k3k\geq 3, prime tableaux can correspond to subdivisions that are not coarsest, so only this implication is conjectured.
