  "abstract": "In the modular representation theory of finite unitary groups when the characteristic $\\ell$ of the ground field is a unitary prime, the $\\widehat{\\mathfrak{sl}}_e$-crystal on level $2$ Fock spaces graphically describes the Harish-Chandra branching of unipotent representations restricted to the tower of unitary groups. However, how to determine the cuspidal support of an arbitrary unipotent representation remains an open question. We conjecture that for $\\ell$ sufficiently large, the $\\mathfrak{sl}_\\infty$-crystal on the same level $2$ Fock spaces provides the remaining piece of the puzzle for the full Harish-Chandra branching rule.",
