The Strong Conjecture for algebraic and noncrossing parking spaces

About 14 years old · traced to

Let WW be a real reflection group of rank nn with Coxeter number hh, let VV be its reflection representation, and let k≥1k\geq 1. Let θ1,…,θn\theta_1,\dots,\theta_n be a homogeneous system of parameters of degree kh+1kh+1 carrying V∗V^*, let x1,…,xnx_1,\dots,x_n be a basis of V∗V^*, and write Θ=(θ1,…,θn)\Theta=(\theta_1,\dots,\theta_n) and x=(x1,…,xn)\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\dots,x_n). Define VΘV^{\Theta} to be the variety cut out by (Θ−x)(\Theta-\mathbf{x}). The groups WW and Zkh\mathbb{Z}_{kh} act on VΘV^{\Theta}, and ParkWalg(k){{\sf Park}}^{\mathrm{alg}}_W(k) and ParkWNC(k){{\sf Park}}^{NC}_W(k) denote the algebraic and noncrossing parking spaces. Strong Conjecture. For any such hsop and basis for which the C\mathbb{C}-linear map induced by xi↦θix_i\mapsto\theta_i is WW-equivariant, VΘV^{\Theta} consists of (kh+1)n(kh+1)^n distinct points of multiplicity one, with a W×ZkhW\times\mathbb{Z}_{kh}-equivariant identification VΘ≅ParkWalg(k)V^{\Theta}\cong {{\sf Park}}^{\mathrm{alg}}_W(k), and there is a W×ZkhW\times\mathbb{Z}_{kh}-equivariant bijection VΘ→∼ParkWNC(k)V^{\Theta}\xrightarrow{\sim}{{\sf Park}}^{NC}_W(k). The rank-one case verifies the conjecture, and the paper gives further evidence; its validity for arbitrary reflection groups and hsops remains open.
