The blob simple-module dimension and intersection-form conjecture

Let P1l(n)P_1^l(n) be the set of ll-tuples of non-negative integers summing to nn, and let P(λ)P(\boldsymbol{\lambda}) denote the orbit of λ\boldsymbol{\lambda}. For a regular λP1l(n)\boldsymbol{\lambda}\in P_1^l(n) and μP(λ)\boldsymbol{\mu}\in P(\boldsymbol{\lambda}), let Lλp(μ)L^p_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}}(\boldsymbol{\mu}) be the corresponding graded simple module, and let Iwλp(wμ)I^p_{\underline{w}_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}}}(w_{\boldsymbol{\mu}}) be the associated intersection form. Blob simple-module dimension and intersection-form conjecture.

dimvLλp(μ)=rkvIwλp(wμ).\operatorname{dim}_v L^p_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}}(\boldsymbol{\mu})=\operatorname{rk}_v I^p_{\underline{w}_{\boldsymbol{\lambda}}}(w_{\boldsymbol{\mu}}).

This conjecture supplies the graded simple-module dimensions needed to compute decomposition numbers in positive characteristic, in direct analogy with the role of intersection forms in pp-Kazhdan–Lusztig theory.
