Orbit-product decomposition conjecture with a nontrivial stabilizer

About 20 years old · traced to

Let O(λ)O(\lambda) and O(μ)O(\mu) be orbits with λ≠0\lambda\ne 0 and μ≠0\mu\ne 0. Suppose a stabilizer subgroup of μ\mu is generated by the reflections ri1,…,risr_{i_1},\ldots,r_{i_s} corresponding to simple roots αi1,…,αis\alpha_{i_1},\ldots,\alpha_{i_s}. If, for each w∈W/Wλw\in W/W_\lambda, one has

⟨wλ+μ,αj⟩>0for all j∉{i1,i2,…,is},\langle w\lambda+\mu,\alpha_j\rangle>0\quad\text{for all }j\notin\{i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_s\},

then the product decomposes as a union of the corresponding orbits.

Orbit-product decomposition conjecture. Under these hypotheses,

O(λ)⊗O(μ)=⋃w∈W/WλO(wλ+μ).O(\lambda)\otimes O(\mu)=\bigcup_{w\in W/W_\lambda}O(w\lambda+\mu).

This is one of the paper's conjectures about decomposing products of orbits. The supplied text gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
