Pappas–Rapoport–Smithling conjecture on maximal elements in cocharacter classes

Let GG be a connected reductive group over F˘\breve{F}, let TT be a maximal torus containing a maximal F˘\breve{F}-split torus of GG, let W=W(G,T)W=W(G,T) be the absolute Weyl group, and let X(T)IX_*(T)_I be the coinvariants of the cocharacter lattice under inertia. Fix a geometric conjugacy class of cocharacters {μ}X(G)\{\mu\}\subset X_*(G), and let Λ{μ}\Lambda_{\{\mu\}} be the image in X(T)IX_*(T)_I of the elements of {μ}\{\mu\} whose images in X(T)RX_*(T)\otimes\mathbb R lie in the closure of a Weyl chamber corresponding to a F˘\breve{F}-rational Borel subgroup. Write {μˉ}\{\bar{\mu}\} for the image of the WW-conjugacy class {μ}\{\mu\} in X(T)IX_*(T)_I, and equip X(T)IX_*(T)_I with the Bruhat order.

Pappas–Rapoport–Smithling conjecture. The set of maximal elements in {μˉ}\{\bar{\mu}\} with respect to the Bruhat order is precisely the set Λ{μ}\Lambda_{\{\mu\}}.

This conjecture characterizes the maximal elements of the image of a cocharacter conjugacy class in the inertia coinvariants using the elements arising from rational Weyl chambers. The source presents it as a conjecture of Pappas, Rapoport, and Smithling; no resolution status is supplied here.
