Conjecture on the semicanonical functions for semistable diagonals

About 24 years old · traced to

Let I′=I∖{p}I'=I\setminus\{p\} index the irreducible components YkY_k of the exceptional variety L=Lm\mathfrak{L}=\mathfrak{L}_m, and let E~k(m)\widetilde E_k(m) be the characteristic function of YkY_k. For dim⁡V=mδ\dim V=m\delta, let ΛVssd\Lambda^{ssd}_V be the semistable diagonal, and let E^k∗(m)\hat{E}^{*}_k(m) be the commutator function defined from Eαk∗E^{*}_{\alpha_k} and Eβk∗E^{*}_{\beta_k}, where αk=k\alpha_k=k and βk=mδ−αk\beta_k=m\delta-\alpha_k. Semicanonical-function conjecture. Up to signs, the following identities hold: Eα∗∣ΛVs=E~αE^{*}_{\alpha}|_{\Lambda^{s}_V}=\widetilde E_{\alpha} for dim⁡V=α∈R+re⁡\dim V=\alpha\in R^{\operatorname{re}}_{+}; E^k∗(1)∣ΛVs=E~k(1)\hat{E}^{*}_k(1)|_{\Lambda^{s}_V}=\widetilde E_k(1) for dim⁡V=δ\dim V=\delta; and E^k∗(m)∣ΛVssd=E~k(m)\hat{E}^{*}_k(m)|_{\Lambda^{ssd}_V}=\widetilde E_k(m) for dim⁡V=mδ\dim V=m\delta. In addition, if m>1m>1 and x′,x”∈ΛVssdx',x”\in\Lambda^{ssd}_V lie in the same SS-equivalence class with both E^k∗(m)(x′)\hat{E}^{*}_k(m)(x') and E^k∗(m)(x”)\hat{E}^{*}_k(m)(x”) nonzero, then these two values are equal, so that E^k∗(m)\hat{E}^{*}_k(m) descends to a function on ΛVssd/S\Lambda^{ssd}_V/S-equivalence by taking the common nonzero value when it exists and 00 otherwise. The conjecture identifies the commutator functions with characteristic functions of the irreducible components and is intended to establish the relevant semicanonical-basis elements on the semistable diagonal; its resolution is not given in the source.
