The affine δ-maximal component conjecture for unequal tensor parameters

Let g\mathfrak{g} be an untwisted affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra, let δ\delta be its null root, and let V(γ)V(\gamma) denote the irreducible highest weight representation of highest weight γ\gamma. For integers mn0m\geq n\geq0, call a weight β\beta of V(nρ)V(n\rho) δ\delta-maximal if it is maximal in its δ\delta-string. The affine δ\delta-maximal component conjecture. If λ=mρ+β\lambda=m\rho+\beta with β\beta a δ\delta-maximal weight of V(nρ)V(n\rho), then

V(λ)V(mρ)V(nρ).V(\lambda)\subseteq V(m\rho)\otimes V(n\rho).

Equivalently, the δ\delta-maximal components in this tensor product are precisely those with λ=mρ+β\lambda=m\rho+\beta for a δ\delta-maximal weight β\beta of V(nρ)V(n\rho). The statement is presented as an equivalent affine formulation of the unequal-parameter conjecture, supported by the Virasoro-action calculation; the source does not provide a resolution beyond the partial results stated for affine types.
