Görtz–Haines–Kottwitz–Reuman conjecture for affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties

About 16 years old · traced to

Let G=Sp4(L)G=Sp_4(L), where LL is as in the paper. For binG(L)bin G(L), let

Jb={g∈G(L)∣gbsigma(g)−1=b}J_b=\{g\in G(L)\mid gbsigma(g)^{-1}=b\}

be the σ\sigma-centralizer of bb, and let def⁡(b)\operatorname{def}(b) be the difference between the FF-rank of GG and the FF-rank of JbJ_b. Let b′∈G(L)b'\in G(L) be basic with κ(b)=κ(b′)\kappa(b)=\kappa(b'), and let w~∈W~\tilde{w}\in\widetilde{W} have sufficiently large length. Görtz–Haines–Kottwitz–Reuman conjecture. One should have

Xw~(b)≠∅⟺Xw~(b′)≠∅.X_{\tilde{w}}(b)\neq\emptyset\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad X_{\tilde{w}}(b')\neq\emptyset.

When these varieties are nonempty, one should also have

dim⁡Xw~(b)=dim⁡Xw~(b′)−⟨νb,ρ⟩+12(def⁡(b′)−def⁡(b)).\dim X_{\tilde{w}}(b)=\dim X_{\tilde{w}}(b')-\langle\nu_b,\rho\rangle+\frac{1}{2}\bigl(\operatorname{def}(b')-\operatorname{def}(b)\bigr).

The paper states that this conjecture is true for G=Sp4(L)G=Sp_4(L), so the claim is solved in the setting considered here.
