Character-sheaf basis conjecture for class functions

Let G0G_0 be any connected unipotent group over Fq{\mathbb F}_q, let G=G0FqFG=G_0\otimes_{{\mathbb F}_q}{\mathbb F} with Frobenius Fr\operatorname{Fr}, and let CS(G)FrCS(G)^{\operatorname{Fr}} consist of character sheaves MM with FrMM\operatorname{Fr}^*M\cong M. For each such MM, choose an isomorphism ψM:FrMM\psi_M:\operatorname{Fr}^*M\xrightarrow{\sim}M and let tMt_M be the corresponding trace function. The character-sheaf basis conjecture. The functions

tMMCS(G)Fr\\{t_M\\}_{M\in CS(G)^{\operatorname{Fr}}}

form a basis for the space of class functions on G0(Fq)G_0({\mathbb F}_q).
