Carter–Marsh conjecture on simplicial regions of Lusztig's piecewise-linear function

Suppose g\mathbf{g} is of type AnA_n, and let i\mathbf{i} be a reduced expression for the longest Weyl-group element w0w_0. Let k=(1,3,5,,2,4,6,)\mathbf{k}=(1,3,5,\ldots,2,4,6,\ldots) and k=(2,4,6,,1,3,5,)\mathbf{k'}=(2,4,6,\ldots,1,3,5,\ldots) be the opposite reduced expressions for w0w_0. For j=1,2,,nj=1,2,\ldots,n and for PP a partial quiver of type AnA_n associated with i\mathbf{i}, let cj(k)c_j(\mathbf{k}) and cP(k)c_P(\mathbf{k}) be the corresponding Lusztig parametrizations, and let RkkR_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathbf{k'}} be Lusztig's piecewise-linear transition function. Carter–Marsh conjecture. The vectors cj(k)c_j(\mathbf{k}), j=1,2,,nj=1,2,\ldots,n, and cP(k)c_P(\mathbf{k}), with PP a partial quiver associated with i\mathbf{i}, form a simplicial region of linearity XiX_{\mathbf{i}} of RkkR_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathbf{k'}}. Furthermore, all such simplicial regions arise in this way, and the map iXi\mathbf{i}\mapsto X_{\mathbf{i}} from the graph of commutation classes of reduced expressions for w0w_0, with edges given by the long braid relation, to the graph of simplicial regions of linearity of RR, with edges given by adjacency, is a graph isomorphism. The conjecture describes the full simplicial decomposition of the piecewise-linear transition map in type AnA_n, linking commutation classes of reduced expressions with its regions of linearity; the supplied text says it will be shown in type A4A_4, while the general assertion remains unresolved in this source.
