The inhomogeneous X=M fermionic formula conjecture

Let B0B_0 be a tensor product of mutually distinct crystals selected from Br1,s1,,BrL,sLB^{r_1,s_1},\ldots,B^{r_L,s_L}, and let B0Br1,s1BrL,sLB_0\otimes B^{r_1,s_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes B^{r_L,s_L} be equipped with the inhomogeneous energy functions and combinatorial RR-matrices described in the source. Let b0=b0B0b^\natural_0=b_0\in B_0, and let bjBrj,sjb^\natural_j\in B^{r_j,s_j} be the highest weight element for 1jL1\le j\le L. Write k=levB0k=\operatorname{lev}B_0.

Inhomogeneous X=M conjecture. There exists b0B0b_0\in B_0 with φ(b0)=kΛ0\varphi(b_0)=k\Lambda_0 such that

X(Br1,s1BrL,sL,λ,q)=qcM(Ws1(r1)WsL(rL),λ,q),X(B^{r_1,s_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes B^{r_L,s_L},\lambda,q) =q^cM(W^{(r_1)}_{s_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes W^{(r_L)}_{s_L},\lambda,q),

where

c=0i<jLH(bi(bj)(i+1)).c=\sum_{0\le i<j\le L}H\bigl(b^\natural_i\otimes (b^\natural_j)^{(i+1)}\bigr).

Here MM is the fermionic form defined in the source. This extends the homogeneous X=M conjecture to inhomogeneous tensor products; the source notes that it is proved for Xn=AnX_n=A_n, but gives no general resolution.
