Characteristic-independent Cohen–Macaulay conjecture for strongly critical weights

Let GG be a reductive group with maximal torus HH acting on a representation WW with weights β1,,βdX(H)\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_d\in X(H). Let

Σ={i=1daiβiai(1,0]}X(H)R,\Sigma=\left\{\sum_{i=1}^d a_i\beta_i\mid a_i\in(-1,0]\right\}\subset X(H)_{\mathbb{R}},

and let ρ\rho be half the sum of the positive roots. A weight αX(H)+(2ρ+Σ)\alpha\in X(H)^+\cap(-2\rho+\Sigma) is strongly critical, and T(α)T(\alpha) is the tilting module replacing the simple module L(α)L(\alpha). Characteristic-independent Cohen–Macaulay conjecture for strongly critical weights. Theorem 1.3 holds in arbitrary characteristic provided Sym(W)\operatorname{Sym}(W) has a good filtration and L(α)L(\alpha) is replaced by T(α)T(\alpha); namely, under these conditions, M(T(α))M(T(\alpha)^*) is Cohen–Macaulay for strongly critical α\alpha. The conjecture is presented as evidence-based and reasonable, extending a characteristic-zero theorem to arbitrary characteristic under a good-filtration hypothesis. Its resolution status is not given in the supplied text.
