Achar–Sommers' conjecture on regular functions of nilpotent orbit covers

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a classical Lie algebra, let No\mathcal{N}_o be its nilpotent orbits, and let LNo{}^L\mathcal{N}_o be the nilpotent orbits in the Langlands dual Lie algebra. Let O∨\mathcal{O}^{\vee} be a classical nilpotent orbit in LNo{}^L\mathcal{N}_o with canonical preimage (O,C)(\mathcal{O},C) under Sommers' map. Let GCG_C be the subgroup corresponding to CC, and write

R(O~C)≅Ind⁡GCG(triv)=∑λ∈Λ+mλInd⁡TG(λ).R(\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}^C)\cong \operatorname{Ind}_{G_C}^{G}(\mathrm{triv})=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda^+}m_\lambda\operatorname{Ind}_{T}^{G}(\lambda).

Achar–Sommers' conjecture. The maximal element in this expression is h∨h^{\vee}, the semisimple element of a Jacobson–Morozov triple of O∨\mathcal{O}^{\vee}. The paper states that its calculations prove this conjecture for the relevant classical special cases; the parser supplies no formal resolution status for the conjecture itself.
