Achar's conjecture on equivariant coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone

From papers

Let GG be a complex reductive group with nilpotent cone ilcone ilcone, let KG(ilcone)K_G( ilcone) be the Grothendieck group of GG-equivariant coherent sheaves on ilcone ilcone, and let No,r\mathcal{N}_{o, r} index pairs (e,τ)(e,\tau) consisting of a nilpotent orbit and an irreducible equivariant local system. Let Λ+{\Lambda_+} index the basis of KG(N)K_G(\mathcal{N}) described by induced representations, and let γ(e,τ)\gamma(e,\tau) be the smallest maximal-length dominant weight occurring among sheaves supported on Oe\overline{{\mathcal O}}_e and restricting to the local system arising from τ\tau. Achar's conjecture. The map γ\gamma is well-defined and bijective, and there is a basis {M(e,τ)}\{M(e,\tau)\} for KG(N)K_G(\mathcal{N}), indexed by No,r\mathcal{N}_{o, r}, such that M(e,τ)M(e,\tau) is supported on Oe\overline{{\mathcal O}}_e, restricts to the locally free sheaf arising from τ\tau on Oe{\mathcal O}_e, and satisfies

Γ(N,M(e,τ))=±IndTGγ(e,τ)+μ2<τ2mμIndTGμ.\Gamma(\mathcal{N},M(e,\tau))=\pm\operatorname{Ind}_T^G\gamma(e,\tau)+\sum_{\|\mu\|^2<\|\tau\|^2}m_\mu\operatorname{Ind}_T^G\mu.

This conjecture describes an upper-triangular basis relating equivariant coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone to induced GG-modules; the source notes that it was proved for G=GL(n,C)G=GL(n,\mathbb C), while the general case is left open.
