Unimodality of length profiles for conjugacy classes of involutions
Unimodality of length profiles for conjugacy classes of involutions
Let and be finite Coxeter groups, and let be a conjugacy class of involutions in one of these groups. The even/odd length profile of is the sequence obtained by counting the elements of according to their even or odd length. More generally, let be the set of involutions of odd length in a finite Coxeter group, and consider its odd length profile.
Unimodality conjecture. (i) If is a conjugacy class of involutions in or , then the even/odd length profile of is unimodal. (ii) If is the set of involutions of odd length in a finite Coxeter group, then the odd length profile of is unimodal.
These conjectures are proposed after the preceding global conjecture is shown to fail, while the paper reports supporting computations for classical groups through rank and all exceptional groups. The source gives no resolution of these revised conjectures.
