Crystal realization of Schubert cells

About 20 years old · traced to

Let G∨G^\vee be the dual group with Weyl group WW, and let Xw−1∨X_{w^{-1}}^\vee denote the Schubert cell indexed by w−1w^{-1}. Let B(C[Xw−1∨])\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{C}[X_{w^{-1}}^\vee]) be its crystal basis, and let Bfw,Θw−\mathcal{B}_{f_w,\Theta^-_w} be the upper normal crystal associated with ww.

Schubert-cell crystal conjecture. For every w∈Ww\in W,

B(C[Xw−1∨])≅Bfw,Θw−.\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{C}[X_{w^{-1}}^\vee])\cong \mathcal{B}_{f_w,\Theta^-_w}.

This is presented as a conjectural refinement of the perfect-basis conjecture for Schubert cells. The preceding character computation establishes equality of characters, while the isomorphism itself remains conjectural in the source.
