The Shapovalov-preserving Weyl group representation conjecture

Let UU be a finite-dimensional g\mathfrak g-module, where g\mathfrak g is a simple Lie algebra with Weyl group WW generated by the simple reflections sis_i. For each simple root, let ei,fi,hie_i,f_i,h_i be the corresponding sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 generators, and define s~i\tilde s_i on every sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-string by

s~ifikv=k!(nk)!finkv,\tilde s_i f_i^k v=\frac{k!}{(n-k)!}f_i^{n-k}v,

where eiv=0e_i v=0 and hiv=nvh_i v=nv.

Shapovalov-preserving Weyl group representation conjecture. There exists a representation of the Weyl group WW in UU such that each generator sis_i is mapped to s~i\tilde s_i. The operators s~i\tilde s_i preserve the Shapovalov form, but the paper presents the existence of a Weyl group representation with these generators as a conjectural modification of the standard Weyl group action.
