Humphreys' support variety conjecture for tilting modules

Let GG be the reductive algebraic group, G1G_1 its first Frobenius kernel, hh the Coxeter number, and Wp+W_p^+ the set of minimum-length right coset representatives in W\WpW\backslash W_p. For wWp+w\in W_p^+, let [w][w] be the right cell containing ww, let O[w]N\mathcal{O}_{[w]}\subseteq\mathcal{N} be the nilpotent orbit corresponding to [w][w] under the Lusztig bijection, and let T(w0)T(w\cdot 0) be the indecomposable tilting module of highest weight w0w\cdot 0. Humphreys' conjecture. If php\geq h, then for every wWp+w\in W_p^+,

VG1(T(w0))=O[w].V_{G_1}(T(w\cdot 0))=\overline{\mathcal{O}_{[w]}}.

This conjecture predicts that the support varieties of indecomposable tilting modules realize the Lusztig bijection between right cells and nilpotent orbits. It is attributed to J.E. Humphreys and is presented here as a major problem motivating the computation of these support varieties.
