Gordon–Martino conjecture on unipotent families and Calogero–Moser fixed points

Let WW be the Weyl group of a reductive group with Frobenius action induced by τ\tau, let kspk_{\mathrm{sp}} be the special parameter, and let Zksp\mathcal Z_{k_{\mathrm{sp}}} be the corresponding Calogero–Moser space. Write (ZkspC×)τ({\mathcal Z}_{k_{\mathrm{sp}}}^{\mathbb C^\times})^\tau for its τ\tau-fixed C×\mathbb C^\times-fixed points, and Famun(Wτ){\mathrm{Fam}}_{\mathrm{un}}(W\tau) for the unipotent Lusztig families.

Unipotent-family conjecture. There exists a unique bijection

Φ:(ZkspC×)τFamun(Wτ)\Phi:({\mathcal Z}_{k_{\mathrm{sp}}}^{\mathbb C^\times})^\tau\xrightarrow{\sim}{\mathrm{Fam}}_{\mathrm{un}}(W\tau)

such that, for every pp in the source and every τ\tau-stable character χ(Fpksp)τ\chi\in(\mathfrak F_p^{k_{\mathrm{sp}}})^\tau, the almost character RχR_\chi belongs to the one-dimensional span CΦ(p)\mathbb C\Phi(p).

This is the principal proposed link between Calogero–Moser fixed-point geometry and unipotent representation theory. When τ=IdV\tau=\operatorname{Id}_V, the source states that it is equivalent to the Gordon–Martino conjecture; the general equivariant formulation remains open.
