The decategorified blob versus Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture

Let P1l(n)P_1^l(n) be the set of ll-tuples of non-negative integers summing to nn. Let λ,μP1l(n)\boldsymbol{\lambda},\boldsymbol{\mu}\in P_1^l(n) be regular, with μ\boldsymbol{\mu} in the orbit of λ\boldsymbol{\lambda}, and let wλw_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}} and wμw_{\boldsymbol{\mu}} be the associated affine Weyl-group elements. Write dλ,μp(v)d^p_{\boldsymbol{\lambda},\boldsymbol{\mu}}(v) for the graded decomposition number and hwλ,wμp(v)h^p_{w_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}},w_{\boldsymbol{\mu}}}(v) for the corresponding pp-Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial. Decategorified blob versus Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture.

hwλ,wμp(v)=dλ,μp(v)Z[v,v1].h^p_{w_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}},w_{\boldsymbol{\mu}}}(v)=d^p_{\boldsymbol{\lambda},\boldsymbol{\mu}}(v)\in\mathbb{Z}[v,v^{-1}].

This is the decategorified form of the main categorical conjecture and extends the characteristic-zero relationship between generalized blob-algebra decomposition numbers and Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials to positive characteristic.
