Casian–Kodama conjecture on Toda blow-up graphs and flag-manifold cohomology

Let G{\mathcal G} be the graph associated with the blow-up structure of the Toda lattice, and let B{\mathcal B} (or B^\hat{\mathcal B} in the affine case) be the corresponding real flag manifold, decomposed into Bruhat cells. For each sign choice ϵ\epsilon, let Gϵ{\mathcal G}_\epsilon be the corresponding graph and let L{\mathcal L} be the associated local system on the real flag manifold.

Casian–Kodama conjecture. The graph G{\mathcal G} is the graph of incidence numbers for the integral cohomology of the real flag manifold B{\mathcal B} (B^\hat{\mathcal B}) in terms of the Bruhat cells. In general, each ϵ\epsilon corresponds to a local system L{\mathcal L} in the real flag manifold and the graph Gϵ{\mathcal G}_\epsilon is the graph of incidence numbers in the computation of integral cohomology with coefficients in L{\mathcal L}.

The conjecture identifies the combinatorial graph determined by Toda blow-ups with the cellular incidence data computing integral cohomology, including cohomology with local coefficients.
