Canonical Kazhdan–Lusztig cell conjecture on completely prime primitive ideals

Let WaW_a be the affine Weyl group, let Lg{^L \mathfrak{g}} be the Langlands-dual Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra Lh{^L \mathfrak{h}}, and let C\mathcal{C} be a canonical left Kazhdan–Lusztig cell in WaW_a. Write Cˉ\bar{\mathcal C} for its associated closed region and identify Lh{^L \mathfrak{h}}^* with h\mathfrak{h}. Let λLhh\lambda \in {^L \mathfrak{h}}^* \cong \mathfrak{h} be an element of minimal length in Cˉ\bar{\mathcal C}.

Canonical cell conjecture. The element of minimal length is unique, and J(λ)J(\lambda) is a completely prime maximal ideal of U(Lg){\mathbf U}({^L \mathfrak{g}}) whose associated variety is the orbit indexing C\mathcal{C}.

This conjecture connects canonical left Kazhdan–Lusztig cells with completely prime maximal ideals and their associated nilpotent orbits. The rank-two examples in types B2B_2 and G2G_2 motivate the claim, while the general assertion is presented as a conjecture.
