Partial flag Toeplitz limit conjecture

Let d4c3=(n1,d4c5,nk)d4c3=(n_1,d4c5,n_k) be a finite strongly increasing sequence of positive integers, let n0=0n_0=0, and let Pd4c3(n)P_{d4c3}^{(n)} be the parabolic subgroup associated with the partial flag variety SLn/Pd4c3(n)SL_n/P_{d4c3}^{(n)}. Consider a weakly decreasing sequence of nkn_k non-negative real numbers (d4c3i)i=1nk(d4c3_i)_{i=1}^{n_k} such that d4c3ni>d4c3ni+1d4c3_{n_i}>d4c3_{n_i+1} and d4c3j=d4c3j+1d4c3_j=d4c3_{j+1} otherwise. Let ud4c4d4d9ind4d9Toepd4c4(d4d9Rd4d90)u^{d4c4}d4d9\text{in}d4d9\operatorname{Toep}_{d4c4}(d4d9\mathbb R_{d4d9\ge 0}) have generating function

pud4c4(x)=1j=1nk(1d4c3jx)=1i=1k(1d4c3nix)nini1.p_{u^{d4c4}}(x)=\frac{1}{\prod_{j=1}^{n_k}(1-d4c3_jx)}=\frac{1}{\prod_{i=1}^{k}(1-d4c3_{n_i}x)^{n_i-n_{i-1}}}.

Partial flag Toeplitz limit conjecture. There exists a sequence u(n)d4d9inXPd4c3(n)(R>0)u^{(n)}d4d9\text{in}X_{P_{d4c3}^{(n)}}(\mathbb R_{>0}) converging to ud4c4u^{d4c4}; conversely, every infinite totally nonnegative Toeplitz matrix with a generating function of this form arises as such a limit. This proposes a precise description of limits of positive partial-flag varieties with fixed flag dimensions; the source provides no resolution evidence.
