Frenkel–Hernandez character expansion conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Assume that g{\mathfrak{g}} is of finite type. Let WW be the Weyl group, let i∈Ii\in I, let a∈C∗a\in\mathbb{C}^*, and let ψw(ωi∨),a\boldsymbol{\psi}_{w(\omega_i^\vee),a} be the corresponding ℓ\ell-weight. Write χw(ωi∨)\chi_{w(\omega_i^\vee)} for the series introduced in the cited work, and let χw(ωi∨)\chi^{w(\omega_i^\vee)} be the normalization factor. Frenkel–Hernandez character expansion conjecture. For every w∈Ww\in W, i∈Ii\in I, and a∈C∗a\in\mathbb{C}^*,

χ(L(ψw(ωi∨),a))=χw(ωi∨)χw(ωi∨).\chi(L(\boldsymbol{\psi}_{w(\omega_i^\vee),a}))=\chi^{w(\omega_i^\vee)}\chi_{w(\omega_i^\vee)}.

The source states that this is established for the simple reflection case w=siw=s_i, but gives no resolution for general ww.
