Rapoport's dimension conjecture for affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties

About 21 years old · traced to

Let GG be a connected reductive group over FF, let b∈G(L)b\in G(L), and let μ\mu be a dominant coweight such that the affine Deligne–Lusztig variety Xμ(b)X_\mu(b) is non-empty. Write νˉb\bar\nu_b for the dominant Newton point of bb, let ρ\rho be the half-sum of the positive roots, and let def⁡G(b)\operatorname{def}_G(b) be the FF-rank of GG minus the FF-rank of the inner form JJ of the centralizer group MbM_b. Rapoport's conjecture. The dimension of Xμ(b)X_\mu(b) is

dim⁡Xμ(b)=⟨ρ,μ−νˉb⟩−12def⁡G(b).\dim X_\mu(b)=\langle\rho,\mu-\bar\nu_b\rangle-\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{def}_G(b).

This is the expected dimension formula for non-empty affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties in the affine Grassmannian. The source presents it as conjectural and gives no resolution status.
