Double-shortcut equivalence-class conjecture for type A hypercube decompositions

From papers

Let WW be a Coxeter group of type AA, and fix a Bruhat interval [u,v][u,v]. Let zz and zz' be amazing hypercube decompositions of [u,v][u,v], and let DS(z,z)DS(z,z') be the multiset of (z,z)(z,z')-double shortcuts. Define an equivalence relation by taking the transitive closure of

zzif DS(z,z)=DS(z,z).z\sim z'\quad\text{if }DS(z,z')=DS(z',z).

Double-shortcut triviality conjecture. The above equivalence relation is trivial, meaning that it has only one equivalence class. This is a conjecture of Ellenberg and McNamara and is stated to imply the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture for type AA.
