We determine, in an inductive framework, the vertices of the polytope P(s,K) controlling the conjugacy classes of elements which product to one in the maximal compact subgroup K of a simple complex algebraic group G. This extends earlier work of the authors in related contexts. One feature of this work is the use of Kontsevich compactifications of the moduli of P-bundles (replacing the use of quot schemes in type A) which are related to semi-infinite geometry. We also obtain a quantum generalization of Fulton's conjecture valid for all G.
