Cuspidal character sheaves from local systems for stably graded Lie algebras

Let g1{\mathfrak{g}}_1 be the degree-one component of one of the stably graded Lie algebras considered here, let KK act on g1{\mathfrak{g}}_1, and let g1rs{\mathfrak{g}}_1^{rs} be its regular-semisimple locus. Define

Θ(g1,K)={irreducible representations of π1K(g1rs) that appear as composition factors of Mχ, χI^}.\Theta_{({\mathfrak{g}}_1,K)}=\{\text{irreducible representations of }\pi_1^K({\mathfrak{g}}_1^{rs})\text{ that appear as composition factors of }{\mathcal M}_\chi,\ \chi\in\hat I\}.

For each πΘ(g1,K)\pi\in\Theta_{({\mathfrak{g}}_1,K)}, let Lπ{\mathcal L}_\pi be the corresponding KK-equivariant local system on g1rs{\mathfrak{g}}_1^{rs}. Cuspidal character-sheaf conjecture. The set of cuspidal character sheaves on g1{\mathfrak{g}}_1 is precisely

{IC(g1rs,Lπ)πΘ(g1,K)}.\left\{\operatorname{IC}({\mathfrak{g}}_1^{rs},{\mathcal L}_\pi)\mid\pi\in\Theta_{({\mathfrak{g}}_1,K)}\right\}.

This asserts that, for the stable gradings under consideration, every cuspidal character sheaf is obtained from one of these regular-semisimple local systems and that all members of the displayed set are cuspidal. The claim gives a proposed classification of the cuspidal part of the character-sheaf theory in this setting; no resolution is supplied here.
