The fixed-cocharacter conjecture for strong involutions

About 11 years old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group, let δ0\delta_0 be the specified automorphism, and let ξ\xi be a strong involution for GG with dominant regular integral infinitesimal cocharacter gg. Assume that the involution δ0∘θξ∘δ0\delta_0\circ\theta_\xi\circ\delta_0 is equivalent to θξ\theta_\xi, meaning conjugate by GG. Fixed-cocharacter conjecture. There is a δ0\delta_0-fixed regular integral cocharacter g′g' and a strong involution ξ′\xi' with infinitesimal cocharacter g′g' such that θξ=θξ′\theta_\xi=\theta_{\xi'}. The statement is false, so the conjecture has been refuted.
