Gao–Lam–Xu's electrical canonical basis conjecture

From papers

Let Gm,nG_{m,n} be the degree-mm part of the grove algebra, and let cc generate the cyclic action

cZ/2nZ.\langle c\rangle\simeq\mathbb{Z}/2n\mathbb{Z}.

The basis elements are to be indexed by height mm staircase plane partitions of size n1n-1. Gao–Lam–Xu's electrical canonical basis conjecture. For all m1m\geq 1, Gm,nG_{m,n} has an electrical canonical basis which, among other properties, has those indices, and the induced action of c\langle c\rangle corresponds on the basis elements to promotion of staircase plane partitions. Such a basis would provide the representation-theoretic mechanism for cyclic sieving for promotion in all heights; its existence is conjectural.
