Conjecture on Geck's and Murphy-type cellular bases for type B Hecke algebras

Fix a weighting (s1,s2)Z2(s_1,s_2)\in \mathbb{Z}^2 and set

θ=(s1,12s2)Z[12]2.\theta=(-s_1,\tfrac{1}{2}-s_2)\in \mathbb{Z}[\tfrac{1}{2}]^2.

Consider Geck's cellular Kazhdan–Lusztig-type basis of the type BB Hecke algebra and the graded cellular Murphy-type basis constructed in Theorem A. Basis comparison conjecture. The cellular Kazhdan–Lusztig-type basis differs from the graded cellular Murphy-type basis only by multiplication by a unitriangular change-of-basis matrix. The conjecture is motivated by the reconciliation of Lusztig's aa-function ordering with the authors' θ\theta-dominance ordering and by the unitriangularity of the corresponding decomposition numbers; the analogous statement is known in type AA, but the type BB assertion remains open.
