Deguchi's highest-weight-vector conjecture for irreducible quotient representations

Let a^\boldsymbol{\hat a} be the sequence of highest weight parameters, let Ω\Omega be a highest weight vector, and let wA(a^)w_A(\boldsymbol{\hat a}) be the operators defined from the subsequences AA used in the algorithm. For sequences k()\boldsymbol{k}(\boldsymbol{\ell}), define

ωΣ(k())=j=1s(wjkj(1)(a^)wjkj(j)(a^))Ω.\omega_{\Sigma(\boldsymbol{k}(\boldsymbol{\ell}))}=\prod_{j=1}^{s}\left(w_{j^{k_j(1)}}(\boldsymbol{\hat a})\cdots w_{j^{k_j(\ell_j)}}(\boldsymbol{\hat a})\right)\Omega.

Deguchi's highest-weight-vector conjecture. Every irreducible quotient of a submodule in UΩU\Omega has a highest weight vector of the form ωΣ(k())\omega_{\Sigma(\boldsymbol{k}(\boldsymbol{\ell}))}. The source says this form is verified in examples, but does not prove the assertion in general.
