TITLE: What happened to the fourth paper in the series "On the classification of primitive ideals for complex classical Lie algebras" by Garfinkle?
QUESTION [18 upvotes]: In a series of papers in Compositio Math. entitled On the classification of primitive ideals for complex classical Lie algebras I, II and III, Garfinkle describes an algorithm that allows one to determine the fibers of the Duflo map, and hence the left (or right) Kazhdan-Lusztig cells in the Weyl gorup for a Lie algebra of type $B$ or $C$.
Several places, both in reviews and in the papers themselves, mention is made of a fourth part which will deal with the additional things needed to treat type $D$, but I have not been able to find this paper anywhere (it is certainly not listed on MathSciNet).
What happened to this paper? Was it ever written? And if not, is there some other paper that describes what happens in type $D$?

REPLY [24 votes]: I am the author of this series of papers.  Thank you for your interest in my work. I have continued to be active in math when I have had time for it, but most of my time in the past years has been taken with parenting responsibilities.  
After completing the third paper, I began work on the fourth paper and made partial progress before setting it aside for an number of years, though I had hoped to return to it.
Because of interest in this work by researchers in this area, I had shared an incomplete draft of the fourth paper with some colleagues at their request.  Last year, to my surprise, I discovered that a link to a modified version of that draft had been posted to this website.  At my request, it has been taken down.  To be totally clear, this version did not and does not have my authorization to have my name on it, nor to use my copyrighted content.  
Meanwhile, I have been working on completing the fourth paper.  While much of the proof parallels the argument in the third paper, there are new difficulties that need to be resolved.  Many of them have to do with the fact that the Weyl group for type D_n is of index 2 in the Weyl group of type C_n. Thus, you have fewer pairs of tableaux to work with, and the proofs are a lot more difficult.  However, as a result of recent progress, I am now optimistic that in the near future I will have a manuscript that can be posted to the arXiv.
