Lam–Postnikov–Pylyavskyy's alcoved-polytope conjecture for sl_n character products
Let be the roots of the type root system. An alcoved polytope is a polytope whose faces lie in hyperplanes for . For weights and , let be the minimal alcoved polytope containing them. Let and be another pair of weights. Lam–Postnikov–Pylyavskyy's conjecture. If
and , then is -nonnegative. This would give a sufficient condition for to be a submodule of , equivalently for the stated character difference to be -nonnegative, in the equal-sum case. The source provides no evidence of a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
