The dimension formula for affine Springer fibers of regular symmetric-space elements

About 11 years old · traced to

Let FF be the Laurent series field with valuation vv, let (G,G0)(G,G_0) be the symmetric pair considered in the paper, and let

γ=(0XY0)∈g1(F)\gamma=\begin{pmatrix}0&X\\Y&0\end{pmatrix}\in\mathfrak{g}_1(F)

be regular semisimple. Regard XYXY as an element of gln\mathfrak{gl}_n, and let [XY,−][XY,-] denote the commutator map restricted to the Lie algebra of the upper triangular Borel subgroup. Dimension formula conjecture.

dim⁡kX(G0,γ)=v(det⁡([XY,−])).\dim_k X(G_0,\gamma)=v\bigl(\det([XY,-])\bigr).

This conjecture would extend the dimension formula established in the paper for the Cartan subspaces treated there to arbitrary regular semisimple elements. The authors describe it as a conjecture they hope to resolve in a future paper; its status is therefore open.
