Equality conjecture for tensor ideals in tilting modules

Let GG be an algebraic group and pp a prime. Let TiltG\mathsf{Tilt} G be the category of tilting GG-modules; let In(G)I_n(G) and In(G)\overline I_n(G) be the indicated ideals of objects, and let In(G)\mathcal{I}_n(G) and In(G)\overline{\mathcal{I}}_n(G) be the corresponding ideals of morphisms. Let Φ+\Phi^+ be the set of positive roots, and let NkN_k and Nk\mathcal{N}_k be the thick tensor ideal of objects and tensor ideal of morphisms indexed by kk.

Tensor-ideal equality conjecture. For any GG and pp, all of the following hold:

  1. In(G)=In(G)Ob(TiltG)I_n(G)=\overline I_n(G)\cap\operatorname{Ob}(\mathsf{Tilt} G), and consequently In(G)=In(G)Mor(TiltG)\mathcal{I}_n(G)=\overline{\mathcal{I}}_n(G)\cap\operatorname{Mor}(\mathsf{Tilt} G);
  2. In(G)=N(n1)Φ++1I_n(G)=N_{(n-1)|\Phi^+|+1} in TiltG\mathsf{Tilt} G;
  3. In(G)=N(n1)Φ++1\mathcal{I}_n(G)=\mathcal{N}_{(n-1)|\Phi^+|+1} in TiltG\mathsf{Tilt} G.

The paper motivates these equalities by noting that the corresponding restrictions to Tn\mathcal{T}_n are already known from the cited results. The source presents the equalities as a conjecture and gives no resolution status for them in the supplied text.
