The singular-triple criterion for tensor product semigroups

About 21 years old · traced to

Let GG be a complex semisimple Lie group with root system RR, let LL be the character lattice of a maximal torus, let P(G){\mathcal P}(G) be the tensor product cone, and let Tr(σ)Tr(\sigma) denote the total weight of a triple. A triple of dominant weights is singular if at least one component lies on a wall of the Weyl chamber.

Singular-triple criterion. There exists a triple σ∈P(G)∩L3\sigma\in {\mathcal P}(G)\cap L^3 with Tr(σ)∈Q(R)Tr(\sigma)\in Q(R) and σ∉Tens(G)\sigma\notin Tens(G) if and only if there exists a singular triple with these same properties.

This is presented as a less ambitious consequence of either Part 1 or Part 2 of the preceding structure conjecture. The source gives no resolution beyond the stated relationship, so the criterion remains open in general.
