The Lehrer–Solomon conjecture for finite Coxeter groups
The Lehrer–Solomon conjecture for finite Coxeter groups
Let be a finite Coxeter group generated by a set of simple reflections. Let and denote the characters of the top components of the group algebra and the Orlik–Solomon algebra , respectively. Let be the set of cuspidal conjugacy classes of , and choose for each . Lehrer–Solomon conjecture. For each class , there exist linear characters and of such that
and for all , where is the sign character of . This conjecture relates the top components of the group algebra and Orlik–Solomon algebra through induced linear characters of centralizers; it is known for symmetric groups and, according to the paper, is proved by the inductive approach for finite Coxeter groups of rank at most , while the general case remains open.
