The branching-diagram conjecture for Richardson elements of type (b) symplectic parabolics

Let sp2n\mathfrak{sp}_{2n} be the symplectic Lie algebra, and consider a parabolic subalgebra of type (b) with block parameters d=(d1,,dr,dr+1,dr,,d1)d=(d_1,\ldots,d_r,d_{r+1},d_r,\ldots,d_1). Let Lodd(d)L_{odd}(d) denote the corresponding simple line diagram, and call a block length odd when did_i is odd. A repetition of odd entries is a sequence di=di+1==di+sd_i=d_{i+1}=\dots=d_{i+s}, with each repeated entry smaller than dr+1d_{r+1}. Branching-diagram conjecture. The diagram defining a Richardson element is obtained from Lodd(d)L_{odd}(d) by adding a branching for every repetition di=di+1==di+sd_i=d_{i+1}=\dots=d_{i+s} of odd entries smaller than dr+1d_{r+1}. The conjecture proposes a uniform diagrammatic construction for Richardson elements in this class of symplectic parabolic subalgebras, extending the simple line-diagram construction; the supplied text does not establish whether the construction is valid in general.
