Conjecture on leading matrices of distinguished involutions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let d538~n\tilde{d538}_n be the extended affine Weyl group of type d538~n\tilde{d538}_n, let d740d740 be a two-sided cell indexed by a partition d706⊢n+1d706\vdash n+1, and let Md706M_{d706} be the associated module with basis d401d706d401_{d706}. Write d1,…,dNd706d_1,\ldots,d_{N_{d706}} for the distinguished involutions in the relevant left cell decomposition, and let EiiE_{ii} denote the elementary matrix with a 11 in position (i,i)(i,i) and zero elsewhere.

Leading-matrix conjecture. There exists an ordering of the basis d401d706d401_{d706} of Md706M_{d706} such that the leading matrices of the distinguished involutions satisfy

cλ(di)=Eii\mathfrak{c}_{\lambda}(d_i)=E_{ii}

for 1≤i≤Nd7061\leq i\leq N_{d706}.

The claim extends the established property of the distinguished involution d700d706′d700_{d706'}, whose leading matrix is Ed758d706,d758d706E_{d758_{d706},d758_{d706}}. It concerns the matrix realization of Lusztig's asymptotic algebra and remains conjectural in the source.
