Abstract: Let $lambda$, $mu$, $u$ and $ho$ be dominant weights of $mathfraks{l}_n$ satisfying $lambda+mu=u+ho$. Let $V_{lambda}$ denote the highest weight module corresponding to $lambda$. Lam, Postnikov, Pylyavskyy conjectured a sufficient condition for $V_{lambda}otimes{V}_{mu}$ to be contained in $V_{u}otimes{V}_{ho}$ as $mathfraks{l}_n$-modules. In this note we prove a weaker version of the conjecture. Namely we prove that under the conjectured conditions every irreducible $mathfraks{l}_n$-module which appears in the decomposition of $V_{lambda}otimes{V}_{mu}$ does appear in the decomposition of $V_{u}otimes{V}_{ho}$.

Review text

Let \(V_\lambda\) denote the simple \({\mathfrak{sl}}_n\)-module with highest weight \(\lambda\). Suppose the dominant weights \(\lambda,\mu,\nu\), and \(\rho\) are such that \(\lambda+\mu=\nu+\rho\). Lam, Postnikov, and Pylyavskyy conjectured a sufficient condition for \(V_\lambda\otimes V_\mu\) to be a submodule of \(V_\nu\otimes V_\rho\). Given \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\), one considers the minimal alcoved polytope \(P_{\lambda,\mu}\) containing \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\). The conjecture asserts that if \(\nu,\rho \in P_{\lambda,\mu}\), then \(V_\lambda\otimes V_\mu\) is a submodule of \(V_\nu\otimes V_\rho\). \vskip1ex In this article, the authors prove a weaker form of this conjecture. Namely, they prove that under the above assumption each simple \({\mathfrak{sl}}_n\)-module that occurs in \(V_\lambda\otimes V_\mu\) does occur in \(V_\nu\otimes V_\rho\). The proof uses the Horn-Klyachko inequalities, and recent results of \textit{B. Rhoades} and \textit{M. Skandera} on Schur-nonnegativity of Temperley-Lieb immanants [Ann. Comb. 9, No. 4, 451--494 (2005; Zbl 1089.15011)].
