The Bethe-vector length conjecture

Let V1,V2V_1,V_2 be representations of a simple Lie algebra, let XX be a Bethe vector obtained from a critical point t0t^0 of the corresponding phase function Φ\Phi, and let BB be the tensor-product Shapovalov bilinear form. Set κ=1\kappa=1 in Φ\Phi. Bethe-vector length conjecture. The length of XX is the Hessian of the logarithm of Φ\Phi at t0t^0:

B(X,X)=det(2titjlnΦ(t0)).B(X,X)=\det\left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t_i\partial t_j}\ln\Phi(t^0)\right).

The claim relates the Shapovalov norm of a Bethe vector to the local Hessian at the corresponding critical point; the supplied text gives no resolution status or general result beyond the preceding discussion of uniqueness.
