Intrinsic-energy formula conjecture for Br,sB^{r,s}

Let Br,sB^{r,s} be a simple affine crystal with extremal vector u(Br,s)u(B^{r,s}), intrinsic energy DBr,sD_{B^{r,s}}, level 4level(Br,s)44\operatorname{level}(B^{r,s})4, and crystal statistic 4φ(b)44\varphi(b)4. Let H=HBr,s,Br,sH=H_{B^{r,s},B^{r,s}} be the local energy function on Br,sBr,sB^{r,s}\otimes B^{r,s}. Hatayama et al.'s intrinsic-energy conjecture. There is a unique bBr,sb^\natural\in B^{r,s} such that

φ(b)=level(Br,s)Λ0,\varphi(b^\natural)=\operatorname{level}(B^{r,s})\Lambda_0,

and

DBr,s(b)=H(bb)H(u(Br,s)b).D_{B^{r,s}}(b)=H(b\otimes b^\natural)-H(u(B^{r,s})\otimes b^\natural).

The formula would recover intrinsic energy from the local energy against the distinguished element bb^\natural; it is recorded as a conjectural property of the proposed crystals and is not established generally in the source.
