Caselli's nonnegativity conjecture for Kazhdan–Lusztig coefficients

About 19 years old · traced to

Let [u,v][u,v] be a Bruhat interval, let n=l(u,v)−1n=l(u,v)-1, and let ai(u,v)a_i(u,v) denote the coefficients in the expansion of its Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial in the basis qiBn−2i(−q)q^i B_{n-2i}(-q).

Caselli's conjecture. For each Bruhat interval [u,v][u,v] and each i=0,1,…,⌊n/2⌋i=0,1,\dots,\lfloor n/2\rfloor, one has

ai(u,v)≥0,a_i(u,v)\ge 0,

where n=l(u,v)−1n=l(u,v)-1.

These inequalities refine the conjectured coefficientwise nonnegativity of Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials and can be interpreted, via the complete cd\mathbf{cd}-index, as a system of linear inequalities for its coefficients. The source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
