Conjecture on fusion systems of Sylow subgroups of Lie type groups

Let pp be a prime, and let S\mathcal{S} be the collection of pairs (G,S)(G,S) such that GG is a simple Lie type group defined in characteristic pp, GG is not isomorphic to PSp4(pa)\operatorname{PSp}_4(p^a), and SSylp(G)S\in\operatorname{Syl}_p(G). Lie-type fusion-system conjecture. For all but finitely many exceptions, if (G,S)S(G,S)\in\mathcal{S} and F\mathcal{F} is a saturated fusion system on SS with Op(F)=1O_p(\mathcal{F})=1, then there is a group HH with GHAut(G)G\leqslant H\leqslant\operatorname{Aut}(G) such that F=FS(H)\mathcal{F}=\mathcal{F}_S(H). The conjecture predicts that, apart from finitely many exceptions and the excluded family, such fusion systems are induced by almost simple overgroups of the underlying Lie type group; the source does not resolve the remaining cases.
