The boundary-stratum conjecture for tensor product semigroups

About 21 years old · traced to

Let GG be a complex semisimple Lie group, let P(G){\mathcal P}(G) be its tensor product cone, let Λ={σ∈L3:Tr(σ)∈Q(R)}\Lambda=\{\sigma\in L^3:Tr(\sigma)\in Q(R)\}, and let SS be a stratum in the boundary of P(G){\mathcal P}(G) containing a point (λ,μ,ν)(\lambda,\mu,\nu) whose three components are regular.

Boundary-stratum conjecture. There exists a subcone S+σ⊂SS+\sigma\subset S such that

(S+σ)∩Λ=(S+σ)∩Tens(G).(S+\sigma)\cap\Lambda=(S+\sigma)\cap Tens(G).

Thus, sufficiently far inside such a boundary stratum, the lattice and root-lattice conditions are conjectured to be sufficient for membership in the tensor product semigroup. The source does not provide a resolution of this assertion in the supplied passage.
