The uniqueness conjecture for critical points of Bethe phase functions

From papers

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a simple Lie algebra, let V1,V2V_1,V_2 be representations of g\mathfrak{g}, and let Φ\Phi be the corresponding phase function in variables assigned to the simple roots. Critical points satisfy dΦ=0d\Phi=0, and points related by permutations of variables assigned to the same simple root are identified. Uniqueness conjecture. If the space of singular vectors of a given weight in V1V2V_1\otimes V_2 is one-dimensional, then the corresponding phase function has exactly one critical point modulo permutations of variables assigned to the same simple root. This holds for g=sl(2)\mathfrak{g}=sl(2) by the stated symmetric-function description, while the general case is left open.
