Conjecture C for parabolic subgroups of finite Coxeter groups

From papers

Let WW be a finite Coxeter group, let WLW_L be a proper parabolic subgroup of rank rr, and let CL\mathcal C_L represent the cuspidal conjugacy classes of WLW_L. For each wCLw\in\mathcal C_L, let φw\varphi_w be the linear character of CWL(w)C_{W_L}(w) supplied by Conjecture B, and let ρLr~\widetilde{\rho_L^r} and ωLr~\widetilde{\omega_L^r} be extensions to NW(WL)N_W(W_L) of the corresponding characters of WLW_L. Let αL\alpha_L be the composition of the determinant with restriction to the fixed-point subspace of WLW_L. Conjecture C. Each φw\varphi_w extends to a linear character φw~\widetilde{\varphi_w} of CW(w)C_W(w) such that

ρLr~=wCLIndCW(w)NW(WL)φw~=ϵαLωLr~.\widetilde{\rho_L^r}=\sum_{w\in\mathcal C_L}\operatorname{Ind}_{C_W(w)}^{N_W(W_L)}\widetilde{\varphi_w}=\epsilon\alpha_L\widetilde{\omega_L^r}.

This is the relative parabolic version of Conjecture B and is designed to provide the non-cuspidal characters needed for the refined conjecture. The source gives no general resolution status; it is used as an inductive component in the paper’s rank-three and rank-four computations.
