Conjecture on folding identities for arbitrary dominant monomials

Let g\mathfrak g be simply laced, let σ\sigma be the folding data, and let ϕgσ\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g} and Φgσ\Phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g} be the monomial and Grothendieck-ring folding homomorphisms, with

ϕgσ(χq(L(m)))=χqσ(Lσ(ϕgσ(m)))\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}\bigl(\chi_q(L(m))\bigr)=\chi_q^\sigma\bigl(L^\sigma(\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}(m))\bigr)

for Kirillov--Reshetikhin modules. Folding identity conjecture. The equalities

Φgσ[L(m)]=[Lσ(ϕgσ(m))]\Phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}[L(m)]=[L^\sigma(\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}(m))]

and

ϕgσ(χq(L(m)))=χqσ(Lσ(ϕgσ(m)))\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}\bigl(\chi_q(L(m))\bigr)=\chi_q^\sigma\bigl(L^\sigma(\phi^\sigma_{\mathfrak g}(m))\bigr)

hold for any dominant monomial mm. Hernandez's theorem establishes these equalities for Kirillov--Reshetikhin modules; the conjecture extends them to all dominant monomials.
