Stasinski and Voll's hyperoctahedral group factorization conjecture

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let BnB_n be the hyperoctahedral group, let I⊆[n−1]0I\subseteq [n-1]_0, and write IcI^c for its complement in [n−1]0[n-1]_0. For w∈Bnw\in B_n, let l(w)l(w) denote its Coxeter length and L(w)L(w) its odd length. Consider the two-variable polynomial

∑w∈BnIctl(w)XL(w).\sum_{w\in B_n^{I^c}} t^{l(w)}X^{L(w)}.

Stasinski and Voll's conjecture. The polynomial xt+1xt+1 divides

∑w∈BnIctl(w)XL(w)\sum_{w\in B_n^{I^c}} t^{l(w)}X^{L(w)}

if and only if 0∈I0\in I.

This conjecture asks for a factorization criterion for the length-generating polynomial of parabolic quotients in the hyperoctahedral group. The source presents it as a further conjecture; its resolution is not established by the supplied context.
