The Lusztig-cone region-of-linearity conjecture for type A canonical bases

Let w0w_0 be the longest element of the Weyl group, let i\mathbf{i} and j\mathbf{j} be reduced expressions of w0w_0, let CiC_{\mathbf{i}} be the Lusztig cone, and let

Sij:YiNkS_{\mathbf{i}}^{\mathbf{j}}:Y_{\mathbf{i}}\rightarrow {\mathbb{N}}^k

be the transition function from the string cone YiY_{\mathbf{i}}, with R=RjjR=R_{\mathbf{j}}^{\mathbf{j}'} Lusztig's piecewise-linear function. Lusztig-cone region-of-linearity conjecture. For any reduced expression i\mathbf{i} of w0w_0, Sij(Ci)S_{\mathbf{i}}^{\mathbf{j}}(C_{\mathbf{i}}) is a region of linearity of Lusztig's piecewise-linear function R=RjjR=R_{\mathbf{j}}^{\mathbf{j}'}. The conjecture identifies the image of each Lusztig cone under the canonical-basis transition map with a linearity region of Lusztig's piecewise-linear parametrization, clarifying the relationship between Lusztig-cone and string-cone coordinates. Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
