Varchenko's path-sum conjecture for stable-envelope integrals

Let X=TGr(k,n)X=T^*Gr(k,n), let a=(a1,,an)\boldsymbol{a}=(a_1,\ldots,a_n) be the equivariant parameters, and let a0\boldsymbol{a}\to 0 denote the non-equivariant limit. For a partition λ\lambda in an (nk)×k(n-k)\times k rectangle, let λt\lambda^t be its conjugate and set Ω(λ)=λt+(k,k1,,1)\Omega(\lambda)=\lambda^t+(k,k-1,\ldots,1). Write pΩ(λ)p_{\Omega(\lambda)} for the corresponding torus-fixed point, and let V(λ)\mathbb{V}(\lambda) be the weighted path sum defined in the paper. Varchenko's conjecture.

V(λ)=pJXTStab(pΩ(λ))pJe(TpJX).\mathbb{V}(\lambda)=\sum_{p_J\in X^{\mathsf{T}}}\frac{\operatorname{Stab}(p_{\Omega(\lambda)})|_{p_J}}{e(T_{p_J}X)}.

Consequently,

lima0V(λ)=XStab(pΩ(λ)).\lim_{\boldsymbol{a}\to 0}\mathbb{V}(\lambda)=\int_X\operatorname{Stab}(p_{\Omega(\lambda)}).

This proposes a combinatorial path-sum formula for equivariant stable-envelope integrals and their non-equivariant limits; the source presents it as a conjectural method due to A. Varchenko.
