Humphreys' weight-cell support-variety conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let GG be a semisimple simply connected algebraic group, let Wp+W_p^+ be the dominant right-coset representatives, let c[w]c_{[w]} be the weight cell associated with the right cell [w][w] containing w∈Wp+w\in W_p^+, and let T(λ)T(\lambda) be the indecomposable tilting module of highest weight λ\lambda. For w∈Wp+w\in W_p^+, denote by O[w]\mathcal{O}_{[w]} the nilpotent orbit corresponding to [w][w] under the Lusztig bijection. Humphreys' weight-cell conjecture. If p≥hp\geq h and λ∈c[w]∩X(T)+\lambda\in c_{[w]}\cap X(T)_+ for some w∈Wp+w\in W_p^+, then

VG1(T(λ))=O[w]‾.V_{G_1}(T(\lambda))=\overline{\mathcal{O}_{[w]}}.

This is equivalent to Humphreys' original formulation because tilting modules whose highest weights lie in the same relevant alcove have the same support variety; the source states that the conjecture remains open for all types and also makes sense when p<hp<h.
