Lusztig's relative Kazhdan–Lusztig cell conjecture

From papers

Let WW be a Coxeter group with weight function LL, let WIWW_I\subseteq W be a parabolic subgroup, and let YIY_I denote the corresponding set of distinguished coset representatives. For u,vWIu,v\in W_I and x,yYIx,y\in Y_I, consider the relative Kazhdan–Lusztig relations L,I\leqslant_{{\mathcal{L}},I}, LR,I\sim_{{\mathcal{LR}},I}, and L,I\sim_{{\mathcal{L}},I}. Lusztig's relative cell conjecture. One has the implication

uxL,IvyanduLR,IvuL,Ivandx=y.ux \leqslant_{{\mathcal{L}},I} vy \quad\text{and}\quad u \sim_{{\mathcal{LR}},I} v \quad\Rightarrow\quad u \sim_{{\mathcal{L}},I} v \quad\text{and}\quad x=y.

When WI=WW_I=W, this reduces to Lusztig's original assertion that uLvu\leqslant_{{\mathcal{L}}}v and uLRvu\sim_{{\mathcal{LR}}}v imply uLvu\sim_{{\mathcal{L}}}v. The original assertion is known in the equal-parameter case for finite and affine Weyl groups, as well as in several other cases, but the relative version is conjectured for all WW, LL, and choices of WIWW_I\subseteq W.
