Hernandez's conjecture on specialization of (q,t)(q,t)-characters

Let g\mathfrak g be a general simple Lie algebra, let M+\mathcal M_+ be the set of dominant monomials, and let χq,t(L(m))\chi_{q,t}(L(m)) and χq(L(m))\chi_q(L(m)) denote the (q,t)(q,t)-character and qq-character of the simple representation L(m)L(m), respectively. Hernandez's conjecture. For any mM+m\in\mathcal M_+, the equality

evt=1χq,t(L(m))=χq(L(m))\operatorname{ev}_{t=1}\chi_{q,t}(L(m))=\chi_q(L(m))

holds. Nakajima proved this when g\mathfrak g is of type ADE\mathrm{ADE}; the conjecture asks for the same specialization identity for general simple Lie algebras and is stated as open in full generality.
