Lusztig's cohomological realization conjecture for reductive groups over local rings

About 23 years old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group with an Fq\mathbb{F}_{q}-rational Frobenius morphism FF, let GrG_r be the corresponding quotient group, and let UrU_r be the image in GrG_r of the unipotent radical of an FF-stable Borel subgroup. For xinGrxin G_r, define

Xx={g∈Gr∣g−1F(g)∈xUr}.X_x=\{g\in G_r\mid g^{-1}F(g)\in xU_r\}.

The finite group GrFG_r^F acts on XxX_x by left multiplication, and hence on its ll-adic compactly supported cohomology.

Lusztig's cohomological realization conjecture. Every irreducible representation of GrFG_r^F appears in the virtual representation

∑i≥0(−1)iHci(Xx,Q‾l)\sum_{i\geq 0}(-1)^iH_c^i(X_x,\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_l)

for some x∈Grx\in G_r.

For r=1r=1, the analogous assertion for the Deligne–Lusztig varieties is known, whereas the cited work notes that the simpler formulation using Weyl-group elements does not suffice for r≥2r\geq 2. The statement is presented as Lusztig's proposed extension to reductive groups over quotients of local rings; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
