The principal-block dimension conjecture for -spetses

Let >0\ell>0 be prime. Let G=(Wφ1,L)\mathbb{G}=(W\varphi^{-1},L) be a simply connected Z\mathbb{Z}_\ell-spets for which \ell is very good, let qq be a power of a prime different from \ell, and let B0B_0 be the principal \ell-block of G(q)\mathbb{G}(q) with defect group SS. Define

dim(B0):=γIrr(B0)γ(1)2Z[x].\dim(B_0):=\sum_{\gamma\in\operatorname{Irr}(B_0)}\gamma(1)^2\in\mathbb{Z}[x].

Principal-block dimension conjecture.

(dim(B0)x=q)=S\left(\dim(B_0)|_{x=q}\right)_\ell=|S|

and

(dim(B0)x=q)Wφ1ζ1(mod),\left(\dim(B_0)|_{x=q}\right)_{\ell'}\equiv |W_{\varphi^{-1}\zeta^{-1}}|_{\ell'}\pmod\ell,

where ζZ×\zeta\in\mathbb{Z}_\ell^\times satisfies qζ(mod)q\equiv\zeta\pmod\ell, and Wφ1ζ1W_{\varphi^{-1}\zeta^{-1}} is the associated relative Weyl group. This combines the two stated dimension and global-local assertions; the paper proves it under additional hypotheses, but the general case is described as elusive.
