2-Lusztig conjecture for Lie and Coxeter 2-representations

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a simple finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra, let χg\chi\in\mathfrak{g}^* be its nilpotent character, and let GG be the associated finite component group. Let ΘLie(χ)\Theta_{\mathrm{Lie}}(\chi) and ΘCoxeter(χ)\Theta_{\mathrm{Coxeter}}(\chi) be the two 2-representations of GG constructed respectively from the generic block of the reduced enveloping algebra and from the corresponding double cell of the Langlands-dual affine Weyl group. Write XX for their underlying decorated GG-set and [μ]H2(G,(C×)X)[\mu]\in H^2(G,({\mathbb C}^{\times})^X) for the cohomology class. 2-Lusztig conjecture. The 2-representations

ΘLie(χ)andΘCoxeter(χ)\Theta_{\mathrm{Lie}}(\chi)\quad\text{and}\quad\Theta_{\mathrm{Coxeter}}(\chi)

are isomorphic. Moreover, their cohomology class [μ]H2(G,(C×)X)[\mu]\in H^2(G,({\mathbb C}^{\times})^X) is trivial. This is described as a reformulation of a conjecture of Lusztig and as the penultimate conjecture of Gunnells, Rose and Rumynin; it compares the representation arising from modular Lie theory with the geometric Coxeter-cell construction.
