Eventual translation-shift conjecture for affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties

About 21 years old · traced to

Let GG be one of the groups SL2SL_2, SL3SL_3, or Sp4Sp_4. Let b=ϵνb=\epsilon^\nu, and let ℓ(b)\ell(b) denote the length of the translation in W~\widetilde W determined by ν\nu. Eventual translation-shift conjecture. There exists n0n_0 such that, for every x∈W~x\in\widetilde W with ℓ(x)≥n0\ell(x)\ge n_0,

Xx(b)≠∅⟺Xx(1)≠∅.X_x(b)\ne\emptyset \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad X_x(1)\ne\emptyset.

When these varieties are non-empty, their dimensions satisfy

dim⁡Xx(b)=dim⁡Xx(1)−12ℓ(b).\dim X_x(b)=\dim X_x(1)-\frac{1}{2}\ell(b).

The conjecture concerns the asymptotic behavior of affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties for the three specified groups and nontrivial bb. The source states it as a conjecture and provides no resolution status.
