Commutativity conjecture for Hecke correspondences on Rapoport–Zink spaces

Let ttt\neq t' and let AA be any closed formal subscheme of the Rapoport–Zink space Nn\mathcal{N}_n. The correspondence Tnt\mathcal{T}_n^{\leq t} is obtained by composing the correspondences Nn[0,t]\mathcal{N}_n^{[0,t]} and Nn[t,0]\mathcal{N}_n^{[t,0]}, and TtA\mathbb{T}_t^A is the induced map on K-groups. Commutativity conjecture. The closed formal subschemes obtained by applying the two correspondences in opposite orders agree up to a locally nilpotent ideal sheaf,

Tt(Tt(A))=Tt(Tt(A)),|\mathcal{T}^{\leq t}(\mathcal{T}^{\leq t'}(A))|=|\mathcal{T}^{\leq t'}(\mathcal{T}^{\leq t}(A))|,

and the induced maps

TtTt(A)TtAandTtTt(A)TtA\mathbb{T}^{\mathcal{T}^{\leq t'}(A)}_t\circ\mathbb{T}^A_{t'} \quad\text{and}\quad \mathbb{T}^{\mathcal{T}^{\leq t}(A)}_{t'}\circ\mathbb{T}^A_t

are identical modulo torsion. The conjecture expresses commutativity of the Hecke correspondences and is empty for n=2n=2 and n=3n=3.
