Expected action of the type D descent algebra on D_n-Lie monomials
Expected action of the type D descent algebra on D_n-Lie monomials
Let be the Weyl group of type with descent algebra , let denote the relevant class of compositions, and let and be the corresponding type Lie-monomial and descent-algebra elements. For filled templates , write for the associated composition and use tildes for the corresponding type sums. Expected type D Lie-monomial multiplication property. The action should satisfy
where the sum is over filled templates with exactly one non-zero entry in each column; moreover, should be a summand of if and only if is a summand of . Also, should vanish unless adjacent components of sum to give the components of , excluding the two cases in which and belong respectively to and (or conversely) and all components are even. This is an expected type analogue of the established descriptions for the symmetric and hyperoctahedral groups; the conjecture concerns the still-to-be-defined -Lie monomials and their compatibility with multiplication in the type descent algebra.
