Davidson, Adam Dor-On and Baruch Solel,  International Mathematics Research NoticesVol. 2017 Issue 13 (2017),  4069-4130. Available hereNote: the published version in IMRN contains an error in Section 6: an important condition (nonsingularity) is missing from the assumptions, making some of the results there incorrect as stated. This is fixed in the current arxiv version. Other sections in the paper (and hence the main results in them) are not affected.
