Knutson–Tao saturation conjecture

Let G^\widehat{G} be a connected semisimple complex group, let T^\widehat{T} be a maximal torus of G^\widehat{G}, and let μ1,μ2,λ\mu_1,\mu_2,\lambda be weights of T^\widehat{T}. Suppose that μ1+μ2+λ\mu_1+\mu_2+\lambda annihilates every element sT^s\in\widehat{T} whose centralizer in G^\widehat{G} is a semisimple group. For a dominant weight μ\mu, write VμV_\mu for the corresponding irreducible G^\widehat{G}-module. Knutson–Tao saturation conjecture. For every positive integer NN,

(VNμ1VNμ2VNλ)G^0(Vμ1Vμ2Vλ)G^0.(V_{N\mu_1}\otimes V_{N\mu_2}\otimes V_{N\lambda})^{\widehat{G}}\neq0\Rightarrow(V_{\mu_1}\otimes V_{\mu_2}\otimes V_\lambda)^{\widehat{G}}\neq0.

This conjecture proposes a sufficient condition for saturation of tensor-product invariants for general semisimple groups. The paper compares it with the stronger minuscule-weight saturation conjecture above; neither the comparison nor the conjecture is resolved in the supplied text.
