Frenkel–Hernandez character expansion conjecture

Assume that g{\mathfrak{g}} is of finite type. Let WW be the Weyl group, let iIi\in I, let aCa\in\mathbb{C}^*, and let ψw(ωi),a\boldsymbol{\psi}_{w(\omega_i^\vee),a} be the corresponding \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 wWw\in W, iIi\in I, and aCa\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.
