Loewy-length conjecture for projective modules in standard Levi form

About 10 years old · traced to

Let χ\chi be a pp-character in standard Levi form with I=ΠI=\Pi, let wIw_I be the corresponding longest Weyl-group element, and let RI+R_I^+ be the associated set of positive roots. For a pp-regular weight λ\lambda, let Q^χ,I(λ)\widehat Q_{\chi,I}(\lambda) be the projective cover of the irreducible baby Verma module and let Lχ(λ)\mathcal L_\chi(\lambda) be the associated quasi-simple module.

Projective-module Loewy-length conjecture. If χ\chi has standard Levi form with I=ΠI=\Pi and λ\lambda is pp-regular, then

ll(Q^χ,I(λ))=ll(Lχ(λ))=l(wI)+1=∣RI+∣+1.ll(\widehat Q_{\chi,I}(\lambda))=ll(\mathcal L_\chi(\lambda))=l(w_I)+1=|R_I^+|+1.

This gives a precise uniform prediction for the Loewy lengths of projective modules and quasi-simple modules in the standard-Levi case, extending the motivation from known special cases.
