The combined Galois-automorphism Alperin weight conjecture for finite categories

From papers

Let pp be a prime, let kk be an algebraic closure of Fp\mathbb{F}_p, let Γ=Gal(k/Fp)\Gamma={\rm Gal}(k/\mathbb{F}_p), and let C\mathcal{C} be a finite category. If C\mathcal{C} is a finite EI-category, let bb be a central idempotent of kCk\mathcal{C}; otherwise let b=1b=1. Let OC\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}} be the pp-orbit category, let S(kCb)\mathcal{S}(k\mathcal{C}b) be the set of isomorphism classes of simple modules, and let W(kOC,b)\mathcal{W}(k\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}},b) be the set of bb-weights. Write (Γ×Aut(C))b(\Gamma\times\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{C}))_b for the stabiliser of bb. Combined Galois-automorphism conjecture. Let C\mathcal{C} be a finite category (respectively, EI-category) and let bb be the unit element (respectively, a central idempotent) of kCk\mathcal{C}. Then there exists a bijection

S(kCb)W(kOC,b)\mathcal{S}(k\mathcal{C}b)\to\mathcal{W}(k\mathcal{O}_{\mathcal{C}},b)

commuting with the action of (Γ×Aut(C))b(\Gamma\times\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{C}))_b, the stabiliser of bb in Γ×Aut(C)\Gamma\times\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{C}). This combines the Galois and automorphism refinements and is presented as a stronger conjecture; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
