Exotic tilting sheaves, parity sheaves on affine Grassmannians, and the Mirković-Vilonen conjecture (Q1784002)

Let \(G\) be a connected reductive group which is a product of simply connected semisimple groups and a general linear group defined over an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb {F}\) whose characteristic is very good for all quasi-simple factors of \(G\). In this important paper, the authors relate tilting objects in the heart of Bezrukavnikov's exotic \(t\)-structure on the derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on the Springer resolution of \(G\), and Iwahori-constructible \(\mathbb {F}\)-parity sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual group. As applications, they ``deduce in particular the missing piece for the proof of the Mirković-Vilonen conjecture in full generality (i.e. for good characteristics), a modular version of an equivalence of categories due to Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Ginzburg, and an extension of this equivalence.'' The authors expect that their equivalence will play a big role in the modular representation of connected reductive groups. This expectation has won a major boost from [\textit{P. N. Achar} and \textit{S. Riche}, Invent. Math. 214, No. 1, 289--436 (2018; Zbl 1454.20095)].
