Kazhdan–Lusztig monotonicity property B

About 16 years old · traced to

Let (W,S)(W,S) be a Coxeter system, and let Py,wP_{y,w} denote its Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials for y,w∈Wy,w\in W, with ≤\leq the Bruhat order. Property B. The polynomials Py,wP_{y,w} are decreasing for fixed ww, in the sense that

Py,w−Pz,wP_{y,w}-P_{z,w}

has nonnegative coefficients whenever y,z,w∈Wy,z,w\in W and y≤zy\leq z. The source notes that this property is known for all finite Coxeter systems, while its validity for arbitrary Coxeter systems is part of the conjectural package.
