Abstract: Kottwitz' conjecture is concerned with the intersections of Kazhdan--Lusztig cells with conjugacy classes of involutions in finite Coxeter groups. In joint work with Bonnaf'e, we have recently found a way to prove this conjecture for groups of type $B_n$ and $D_n$. The argument for type $D_n$ relies on two ingredients which were used there without proof: (1) a strengthened version of the "branching rule" and (2) the consideration of "$diamond$-twisted" involutions where $diamond$ is a graph automorphism. In this paper we deal with (1), (2) and complete the argument for type $D_n$; moreover, we establish Kottwitz' conjecture for $diamond$-twisted involutions in all cases where $diamond$ is non-trivial.
