Conjecture B on top-degree Coxeter characters
Conjecture B on top-degree Coxeter characters
Let be a finite Coxeter group of rank , let denote a parabolic subgroup generated by a subset of a Coxeter generating set, and call a conjugacy class cuspidal if it does not meet any proper standard parabolic subgroup. Let be representatives of the cuspidal conjugacy classes, let be the relevant top-degree constituent of the regular character, and let be the top-degree Orlik–Solomon character. Conjecture B. For each , there exists a linear character of such that
This is the cuspidal, top-degree component of the refined Lehrer–Solomon conjecture. The paper states that it was proved for symmetric and dihedral groups and proves it for all finite Coxeter groups of rank at most four; its general status is not resolved in the source.
